This review of the book ''"Arthur Conan Doyle: Eine Illustrierte Bibliographie", by Gerhard Lindenstruth'' was written by [[Christopher Roden]] and published in the [[The Parish Magazine (newsletter)|The Parish Magazine]] (No. 10, march 1994).

This review presents Gerhard Lindenstruth's book as the first full bibliography of German-language [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Conan Doyle]] editions, especially valuable for collectors and serious scholars. Though mainly useful to those interested in foreign editions, it is praised as painstakingly compiled, well illustrated, and an attractive production.

'''Reviewed by Christopher Roden'''

'[[SOLI|Die einsame Radfahrer]]' and [[The Lost World|Die verlorene Welt]] may be less familiar titles than '[[The Solitary Cyclist]]' and [[The Lost World]] to readers of English language editions of [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Conan Doyle]]'s works, but German readers would have no difficulty in recognising them. Those, and the many hundreds of versions of other works by [[Arthur Conan Doyle|ACD]], are fully detailed in this new bibliography from Gerhard Lindenstruth.

It has to be admitted that the book will be of use chiefly to those whose collections extend to foreign language editions, but for them the volume will be indispensable. Lindenstruth's work is the first complete bibliography of German language editions of [[Arthur Conan Doyle|ACD]]'s works, and has been painstakingly compiled. It raises the question, however, that if the world needs a bibliography of German editions, why has no move been made to reprint the indispensable Green and Gibson ''A Bibliography of A. Conan Doyle'', which is actively sought by the many who have come to study [[Arthur Conan Doyle|ACD]] in depth in recent years?

This volume shows that some eleven versions of '[[Danger!]]' appeared between 1915-16, following the story's appearance in [[The Strand Magazine|The Strand]] in July 1914. It was indeed a popular work in Germany, which led to the German Secretary of the Navy bestowing warm praise on [[Arthur Conan Doyle|ACD]] in 1917. One feels that such praise would not have been well received by [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Conan Doyle]], whose patriotism was beyond question, and whose perception of the German threat had been well known since 1911 when he took part in the [[The Prince Henry Tour|Prince Henry Motor Tour]].

The bibliography is well illustrated, showing some attractive dust wrappers for [[The Lost World]], [[The Mystery of Cloomber]] and [[Danger!]] It also includes a brief chronology of [[Arthur Conan Doyle|ACD]]'s life and a short Introduction by Robert N. Bloch. A pleasing production.
