Notes
Many Sherlockian writings refer to the tales by using an abbreviation of
the story title. The conventional abbreviations were devised by Jay Finley
Christ and use four letters. This site uses the more common all-capital form
(ABBE), but some writers use only a leading capital letter (Abbe).
Stories are listed in both abbreviation-order and title-order to simplify finding the desired cross-reference. The full title of many stories includes "The Adventure of" as a prefix, but this is not listed here in order to conserve space.

New York: Argus Books, 1947.
