"After all, it is a question of money with these fellows, and I have the British treasury behind me. If it's on the market I'll buy it -- if it means another penny on the income-tax. It is conceivable that the fellow might hold it back to see what bids come from this side before he tries his luck on the other..." --Sherlock Holmes, from the The Second Stain

Publicationa Brettiana is a graphic listing of as many Brettish-related studies and literary entries that I have been able to locate. This section shall be updated further when more new publications come to my notice. The following publications comes from various sources -- both enquired and searched for THE most inexpensive offering available. Pubilcationa Brettiana was created to simply inform all Brettians of reading sources and to hopefully, yet vainfully, try to satisfy our insatiable appetite of Brettish education. Increments are either in US dollar ($) or UK sterling (£), unless addressed otherwise. To perform foreign exchange rate conversion, use the Universal Currenct Converter.

For other listings of Brettish nostalgia, please consult Memorabilia Brettiana, Paraphernalia Brettiana de Exotica, and Influencing Those Inspired Illustrators. If there is any Brettian who knows where to obtain the Brettish-related publications, the editor would be much obliged in receiving the information.

A Study in Celluloid

A Study in Celluloid: A Producer's Account of Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes *NEW*

Written by Michael Cox, producer of the Granada series, suggested his idea for a definitive version of the Sherlock Holmes stories to Granada Television in 1981 and the first film reached the screen three years later. Since then, the series has been seen all over the world and Jeremy Brett's portrayal of the great detective has been widely acclaimed. But this book is not only about one man's acting achievement. It is a tribute to the other actors around him and the contribution of writers, directors, designers, and the whole production team which supported them, and about the controversial process of adapting classic literary fiction from the page to the screen. Each of the forty-one films in the series is analysed in relation to the Conan Doyle story on which it is based. The original producer of the series describes every aspect of the production process, from the first gleam in his eye to the press reception of the final film. 235pp, hardcover with pictoral endpapers, illustrated with 21 photographs, signed by Mr Cox. Copies available at 3 locations: The Mysterious Bookshop for $40.00 (uncertain if autographed); Rupert Books or use their snail-mail order form for £19.00; or Classic Specialties for $32.95 (item BK/CELL)

The Jeremy Brett -- Linda Pritchard Story: On the Wings of Paradise *NEW*

All copies are autographed by the authors! Available at 3 locations: Amazon.co.uk for £16.00, Rupert Books for £20.00, or The Mysterious Bookshop for $42.00

Bending the Willow: Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes *DISCONTINUED SINCE 1997*
SOLD OUT ! SOLD OUT ! SOLD OUT

 "Bending the Willow is not a biography," comfirmed author, Mr David Stuart Davies. "This is not an attempt to chart the life of Jeremy Huggins, whom fate decreed we should know as Jeremy Brett...It is simply an attempt to record and analyse the last stage of his life when he took on the rôle of Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective character, Sherlock Holmes, for British television company. It was a rôle fascinated, frightened, and consumed him. It was a rôle that will bring him a kind of immorality. It was a rôle which he played with a brilliance that are unlikely to see again..." This extremely popular documentary stopped publication since 1997 and rapidly became a rarity for collectors' item. Foreword by Edward Hardwicke. 185 pp, hardcover, profusely illustrated in black-and-white, perfect binding. Now available at only ONE location at Rupert Books for £40.00 (item #2.36)

SOLD OUT ! SOLD OUT ! SOLD OUT

 The Baker Street File: A guide to the appearance and habits of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson specially prepared for the Granada Television series The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes With an Introduction and section notes by Michael Cox is a MUST collectors' item for every Brettian! Before Granada TV ever began producing their now famous television series, Michael Cox, the original producer of the series, insisted on as complete conformity to the original canonical yarns as might be possible. Mr Cox caused The Baker Street File to be compiled out of extensive research into the Canon, itself. The guide was issued to all involved in the productions, both in front of and behind the cameras, as a sort of "bible" setting forth the natures, temperaments, habits, appearance and characteristics of the major canonical characters. All involved in the productions were expected to refer to this "guide to canonical fidelity" in their recreations of Mr. Holmes' exploits. A marvelous and scholarly guide including chapters devoted to Holmes, Watson, Mrs. Hudson and Billy the Page, the 221B flat, and more. This is a bound reprint of the very "canonical guidebook" which Mr Cox placed in the hands of everyone on the Granada sets. 105 pp, glossy stiff-paper binding with "Victorian" graphics, numerous photographs, perfect binding from Rupert Books. £11.50 (item #2.35)
