The Chess Mysteries of Sherlock Holmes

Not a review at all but a question...

I only have the first edition of

The Chess Mysteries of Sherlock Holmes

but are the later editions different in terms of content?

I have that book (somewhere...) so I could check my copy. Not sure what edition it is. How long can you wait for an answer? (Someone else will probably provide it quicker.) Do you have the other Smullyan chess books? I have The Chess Mysteries of the Arabian Knights. I think those are the only two sets of chess puzzles (mostly retrograde puzzles, I think, but not sure). Are there others?

You raise an interesting point.

Reviews of books published many years ago might be a fun thing to do!
