The Crew of the Barque Lone Star was founded as a scion society of the Baker Street Irregulars in April 1970.
Through the years, the society has been home for many authors of fiction, Sherlockian criticism, and other non-fiction pieces.
As we reached our 50th anniversary of existence, it just seemed appropriate to have present members develop pastiches and essays based on the personal advertisements in the agony columns, which appeared prominently in many stories of the Canon, and assisted the Master throughout his career.
The stories and articles included in this volume are from the fertile minds of crew members of the Barque Lone Star, friends of our Society, as well as other wonderful projects provided to us from other Sherlockian authors.
