///Wow. I knew there was a deficit on a lot of thinks in the USSR, but I hadn't realized there was such a severe one on books! ///
This deficit was spread on, in generally, just the Adventure literary, for example: Conan Doyle, Alexander Duma, Stevenson, Chesterton etc + science fiction. On contrary, the national classic literary, as a rule, was in free trading (instance, Alexander Pushkin, Lermontov...).
///That really tells you something about a country and its people - that the process of getting books to read was so difficult, and yet people were still willing to go through it and stand in queues, because reading was that important to them.///
Perhaps... In any way, it is right regarding to 1960s-1980s. By the way, that why Soviet/Russian cinema did such faithful adaptations of classic literary.

///I cannot argue with that. I can see many different film versions, but my favorite Holmes and Watson will always be the ones on the page. ///
I just wanted to say that almost all Doyle's stories are excellent ones, except, may be, three-four ones (instance, 'Mazarin Stone' or 'Case of Identity'). Perhaps, I'm wrong to don't enter HOUND in my favorite list. May be, I rate 'Sing of Four' a bit over than 'Hound' of that in the 'Sing' there is Watson's line, which changes the fates of Holmes and Watson.
