Looks Beautiful and Includes Many Stories.
This edition of 'Sherlock Holmes' contains many stories that will keep you entertained for a long time. It also looks great on my shelf with my other books from the 'Barnes and Noble Collectible Editions' series. So all around a great book that you won't regret purchasing. Five stars!

Decent, but feels incomplete
This edition isn't bad, depending on what you want out of it I guess. It doesn't include any of the Sydney Paget illustrations, and this makes it feel incomplete - Arthur Conan Doyle specifically requested Paget for all his stories from "The Hound of the Baskervilles" forward, after all, which to me makes it an official part of the canon. Without them, this edition doesn't really feel "definitive". If that was what you wanted out of this, you may want to look elsewhere. I was personally hoping to replace my various ramshackle hardbacks with a single volume, but this doesn't really cut it. This is actually the first hardback copy of Holmes I've ever seen without the illustrations. Its nice looking enough to make it a nice superficial gift, which is probably what I'll end up doing with it.

All 60 Stories
It was really important to me while searching for a complete version of the Sherlock Holmes stories that all 4 novels and 56 short stories were included and in this they are! I am a huge Sherlock Holmes fan and I am so excited to finally read the original stories. I definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to read all the Holmes and Watson stories.
