That's great news. Thanks for your support. And I must now chase up this leaflet you refer to. I didn't know about it.
Today many Japanese Sherlockians can finally receive Japanese translation of “The World of Sherlock Holmes”. We are excited to read this fantastic book! And we Japanese can have extra gift which is a small leaflet of Mitch Higurashi’s explanations on this book. @alycett1
