About this title

Review:

"With at least five books currently existing on Holmes's methods, How To Instantly Size-Up Strangers Like Sherlock Holmes is a worthwhile addition to the subject and a must-have for any Sherlockian with a special interest in that area, and one you'll want to have around for reference. Definitely recommended."
—Brad Keefauver, Sherlock Peoria

"The degree to which Williams absorbed the Canon is impressive. Almost every page contains multiple examples drawn from it, although the book also contains 28 pages of footnotes and bibliographical references to other works as well....Chapter 12, the one on how to practice, is worth the price of admission all by itself."
—Dan Andriacco, Dan Andriacco's Baker Street Beat

"How To Instantly Size-Up Strangers Like Sherlock Holmes by Mark Williams is a very interesting and enjoyable book. It is not a light reading, however, you have to concentrate on it. I recommend this book to everyone who is interested in learning the methods used by the world's greatest detective."
—Zsófia Marincsák, Sherlockian-Sherlock.com

"As a detailed explanation of Holmes's mental skills and how we can apply them today, it may very well be unbeatable."
—Roger Johnson, The Sherlock Holmes Society of London

"....I've received loads of queries on Sherlock Holmes-fan.com that start like this: "How can I deduce like Sherlock Holmes?" "I want to BE Sherlock Holmes. What do I do?" .... this book has the answers.... it's definitely worth looking into."
