5.0 out of 5 stars An Odd Little Book, December 29, 2003
By 
Me2Big (Seattle,WA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Elementary BASIC: As Chronicled by John H. Watson (Paperback)
This book would be of interest to both collectors of Sherlock
Holmes pastiches and of early computer programming books,
because it actually combines a Sherlock Holmes mystery with
learning the old BASIC language (circa 1982). This kind of
book, like the old IBM mainframe manuals and other books about "old" computer languages,like ADA, are becoming fun to read again, or collect. Actually a helpful little book on how to read and write BASIC computer code combined with a Sherlock Holmes

pastiche written by the authors, "illustrated" with data charts
and some reprints of old Sherlock Holmes pulp magazine pictures
and several small woodcuts.
