THE STRAND MAGAZINE

 







 If you are a mystery buff or a Sherlock Holmes devotee you must check out the Strand Magazine. 


 

 


 

The website is www.strandmag.com 

 

The Strand is not a cheap diminutive magazine; it measures 11x8.5 inches and the pages are slick quality paper.   These are magazines you will wish to collect. 






Each issue features an interview with a major mystery writer and includes short stories by and about well-known writers.  

 

The Strand Magazine is known for publishing the original Sherlock stories,




 and each issue contains a Holmes adventure.

 

There is a downside.   Reviews contained many complaints about missing or later responses to orders:  I placed an order and promptly received an email acknowledging the order.  Ten days later nothing.  I tried to call the 800 number and discovered, after many tries over three days, that they don’t answer their phone, but send all calls to voice mail.  In frustration, I made a complaint on their Blog.  The next day I received an email that my order was in progress and a shipping date.  I have received the order and am satisfied. 

 

The magazine is worth the annoyance.
