Reading Kim Newman's Secret Files of the Diogenes Club (with much enjoyment--he's good), I derive a brief flicker of amusement from the fact that he has two characters lecturing each other on how silly it is to think that God might have created the world complete with fossil history to seem older than it is...in a book whose cover is designed with the appearance of ripped cloth and worn corners to seem older than it is.

I hope it's a deliberate irony.

Thank you. I've only recently come to Sherlock Holmes, and I have to admit that the description of the Diogenes Club tickled me greatly, so your mention of this book made me prick up my ears. I'll go and bung it on my wish list for a gloomy day after Christmas.

Yes, sounds like something I might enjoy too!
