Has anyone read this book? If so is it worth picking up?

If you like deduction and logical reasoning,yes.
If you're looking to improve your game,no.

It's mostly retrograde problems I believe, but I might be corrected. I guess "Sherlock Holmes" was added in the title for commercial purposes...

Retro puzzles!Correct!Them odd backward things,couldn't remember what those were called.
Not my kind of thing 😞

i enjoyed it. there's a companion volume by the same author called something like Chess Mysteries of the Arabian Nights (Knights?). as someone said, it's worth picking up if you like logic puzzles. i got a kick out of solving them.
