  2. BTW, be careful on question #2. I'm asking who played Conan Doyle, not Houdini. I received a few "Paul Michael Glaser" answers.

  3. Also please don't forget to include your address. And all I'm doing with these is sending on the five winners addresses to the publisher so they can send the books. Everything stays private.

    1. Question #1 has thrown a few people. They gave me the name of a book that features HH and Doyle, not HH and Holmes. But I'm entering them anyway. :)
