The complete Baker Street Irregulars Press

In my very first post for this blog I stated that:

"my niche passion is books published by the 'Baker Street Irregulars'. This includes books published by the Press, earlier books published under that name, and the Baker Street Journal. I am often frustrated at small print runs and out of print books, and hope to share what I learn about BSI books and their content. I'll share the journey of bringing together all BSI books - of course it might never happen."

Why these books? To me, the BSI books are the pinnacle of Sherlockian writing.

What I quickly learnt was that "it might never happen" is how I've felt every since as I worked to uncover individual publications. Little did I realise that it would be so difficult - I was naive - and as this blog will attest I have enjoyed other collecting goals that can provide satisfaction. 

A full list of books published by BSI can be found here. 

This photo took a while to organize, but it represents a long Sherlockian goal. The complete collection finally happened this weekend when the typical kindness of our community led to me receiving the slimmest BSI volume of all, rounding out the 'set'.

That final item? The Conference Program for 'The Mind and Art of Sherlock Holmes' (2016). The BSI page lists it, so I count it.

So, what's the next collecting goal?
