NPLH is visited by thousands of people each and every week, and you could be exposing your book to the perfect people. Of course, I will very happily accept books, or other products, outside the Holmes genre, but the author should just be aware that it will be mostly Holmes and Doyle fans visiting this site, and whether their ware will be of interest to our sites visitors.
