Fine Books & Collections, Winter 2022.

“When it comes to single-author book collectors,” says Basbanes, “Sherlockians are a species unto themselves, and when it comes to Sherlockians, the same can be said for Glen Miranker, with rare books, manuscripts, pamphlets, magazines,variants, proofs, and piracies being just one vital component in his over-all scheme, which is is on full display in his forthcoming exhibition at the Grolier Club, “Sherlock Holmes in 221 Objects.”

Nicholas A. Basbanes is the author of ten works of cultural history, including A Gentle Madness: Bibliophiles, Bibliomanes, and the Eternal Passion for Books (1995), and his his most recent, Cross of Snow: A Life of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, (2020) named a best book of the year by the TLS and the recipient of a Nonfiction Honor Award from the Massachusetts Center for the Book. He also writes the Gently Mad column for Fine Books & Collections.
