Issue 46

Once more we reach the last issue of the year - our tenth year of publication. We are planning some exciting changes next year, including changing the title of the magazine which from issue 47 will be called simply SHERLOCK.

But for now it’s time to draw the curtains, throw another log on the fire and settle down to peruse this issue and see what it has in store for you.
