What About Watson? (Part Three)

Some time ago, I took a test on AOL concerning “left-brained” vs “right-brained” people and I confirmed what I always thought about myself: it turns out that I am an extremely “left-brained” man!  Then I got to thinking about Dr. Watson, and considered what his mental processes were like.

"Down in a dark, cobwebbed corner of the vaults of SherlockPeoria is a box with my name upon it . . ." Finding untold tales of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson is one of the secret vices of many an otherwise respectable Sherlockian, and things are no different here . . .

This lead me to create a spreadsheet that lists all of the known anthologies. The list contains more than 500 books although some are different printings or publishers for the same book.
