Hello, friends. Tonight, we are joined by celebrated author and Sherlockian scholar, Leslie Klinger.

Less is not only responsible for the new annotated Sherlock Holmes and the 10-volume Sherlock Holmes

reference library, but he has also been called the world's first consulting Sherlockian for

his behind-the-scenes work on a myriad of film and television projects, including the

Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock Holmes films, Netflix's Enola Holmes, the CBS series Elementary,

and more. His other works include the new annotated Dracula, the new annotated H.B. Lovecraft,

the annotated Watchman, the annotated Sandman, and many more. His latest book, the new annotated

strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, just hit bookstores, and is available now at Amazon

poisonedpen.com and the author's website,

leslie s.clinger.com. As with all of Les's volumes, the new Jekyll and Hyde is a beautiful,

exhaustively researched work of art and scholarship, and I highly recommend picking one up.

And so, without further ado, we give you Leslie Klinger.

Les, it's so good of you to join us today.

Thank you.

Well, firstly, congrats on the new book,

the new annotated, strange case of Dr. Jackal and Mr. Hyde,

available now at fine bookstores everywhere.

I was lucky enough to pick up my copy in your presence at the Poison Pen bookstore in Scottsdale,

where you were also kind enough to inscribe it and date it,

and you informed me that because you were signing it prior to the official release date,

that makes an autograph copy even more

sought after by collectors. Is this true? I'm oblivious to these things. I think it is true.
