Collecting personal opinions of a handful of books is a start. I've compiled a list of individual volumes of collected Holmes short story pastiches. Never mind that there are no doubt as many or more pastiche novels -- the number of post-Doyle anthologies is approaching 550 and growing every year. Is that really a good thing? How indeed does one decide how to chose say 25 short story volumes in hopes of reading some of the best of the lot? I've read or sampled a little over 50 post-Doyle anthology books and continue to update a list of what I see at the top 25, but who really will ever read all of them, never mind rank them all (and never mind all the novels)!! Have we entered the brave new world of having too much of a good thing? RoyH
