Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
It is more than a century since the ascetic, gaunt and enigmatic detective, Sherlock Holmes, made his very first appearance in A Study in Scarlet. From 1891, beginning with The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the now legendary and pioneering Strand Magazine began serialising Arthur Conan Doyle's matchless tales of detection, featuring the incomparable sleuth patiently assisted by his doggedly loyal and lovably pedantic friend and companion, Dr Watson. The stories are illustrated by the remarkable Sydney Paget from whom our images of Sherlock Holmes and his world derive and who very first equipped Holmes with his famous deerstalker hat. The literary cult of Sherlock Holmes shows no sign of fading with time as each new generation comes to love and revere the penetrating mind and ruthless logic which were the undoing of so many Victorian master criminals.



Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Orgasmic!
I've had this book since my teenage years and it's the one book I go back to time and time again. I don't know what it is that makes me grab it from the bookshelf, perhaps Conan Doyle's unique style, his descriptions of old London or the Grimpen Mire or the small village deep in the home counties, the knee high fog settling on the moor,I just don't know!
Watson's narration and Holmes deductions and logic never cease to thrill me and carry me away on an orgasmic journey of escapism. For that's what a good book does. That's what this book does.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Complete, but....
This is indeed the most economical and yet complete collection of the "canon", but prbably for the sake of economy the quality of paper & printing have been severely compromised. Also, the font is very small and consequently makes the reading of these works a pain rather than a pleasure.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - MOST Economical Complete Sherlock Holmes Fully Illustrated!!
I thought this is not complete Sherlock Holmes. I was wrong!! It has not only All 58 Strand Magazine version stories fully illustrated but also Two non-Strand Novels (non illustrated).
So, This is The MOST Economical Complete Sherlock Holmes Fully Illustrated!!!
Even if you have another version already, Must have this too!!
