Watson, Lomax, and the Goodly Volume

#### "departed to my rooms with a goodly volume under my arm" \[ILLU] ####    In this month's "Mr. Sherlock Holmes the Theorist" episode, it's a matter of a listener-suggested topic. After our Trifling Trifles look at Lomax the sub-librarian, Maxine Reneker wrote to us with an idea.     In 2020, Maxine teamed up with Marsha Pollak to pen "Watson, Lomax, and the Goodly Volume: Observations on the Illustrious Client," in *The Baker Street Journal*. It gives us a much better idea of what Watson was reading as he prepared for his encounter with Baron Gruner. And it's just a Trifle.      If you have a question for us, please email us at trifles@ihearofsherlock.com. If you use your inquiry on the show, we'll send you a thank you gift.   #### Our Merch Store is open: Trifles mugs, notepads, and oval stickers can be yours (or someone else's, if you'd like to make it a gift). Start shopping today.   "Trifling Trifles" is back — short-form content that doesn't warrant a full episode. "Watson's Cases" show the influence of the good doctor.
