PE> 1. Is that the only Sherlock Holmes book there is?

No, there are quite a few actually.  Not sure if all of them were written
by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle though.

PE> 2. Was Sherlock Holmes real?

No.  As portrayed in the books, he was purely fictional.

PE> 3. Has anyone FREQ'd PDBOOK.TXT, which contains the info below?

No.

PE> 4. Any recommendations from this lot?

Purely personal preference, but anything by Burroughs, Verne, or H G Wells
is eminently readable, as they all had wonderfully prosaic styles.  Some
people even like Dickens (not me though).
