Travel detail: I found this brand new book behind the same store that I sometimes find books being disposed of at. This one had a sticky note attached to it (which I removed) stating that it should be marked out (i.e.,thrown away) because there is small rip in the jacket. Somewhat puzzling is the fact that this book does not need it's jacket because the hardcover itself is a wrapped-cover which looks identical to the dust jacket, including ISBN & barcode (see pics on passport view). I also found it interesting that this books was printed in the Dubai (the country). I've never before seen a USA-published book (or any book) that was printed in Dubai.

Fido has effectively and efficiently created a thorough biography of Sherlock Holmes (a fictional character).
