The Baker Street Journal Christmas Annual is a special issue that covers a single topic. I've previously posted about the first generation of Baker Street Journal Christmas Annuals published from 1956-1960. The final Christmas Annual in 1960 was produced with material prepared by Edgar W Smith prior to his death that year. The BSJ lived on, but from 1960 till 1997 the Baker Street Journal Christmas Annual was not produced, till it re-emerged again as a fine tradition in 1998.
Each Christmas Annual from 1998 onwards is effectively a monograph authored on a topic. The BSI page helpfully provides details of each Annual (1998-current).
Here is my set:
Below I've created a brief list of each Annual, the title and author(s). Many can be purchased through BSI, and copes come up for sale through resellers.
