What is this book about?

Non-fiction study of Sherlock Holmes. As stated in the introduction by Michael Murhpy, "This is the most famous book about Sherlock Holmes ever written. Perhaps I should say the most famous biography...But I think that most Sherlockians would agree with me that this work has been enormously influential and remains to this day one of the most felicitous renderings on the subject of the world's most celebrated private detective."
