Web ID: 14421897

A master of deductive reasoning who can solve the most difficult crimes by spotting obscure clues overlooked by others, dilettante sleuth Sherlock Holmes was the hero of 60 stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle between 1887 and 1927. With the help of his loyal friend, Doctor Watson, Holmes brought countless crooks, thieves, swindlers, and murderers to justice. He even rose from the dead after Doyle tried to dispatch him in his twenty-fourth adventure, and readers protested. Some Sherlock Holmes stories rank among the most famous in detective fiction, among them "A Study in Scarlet," "A Scandal in Bohemia," "The Speckled Band," and "The Hound of the Baskervilles." Here, in one volume, are all four full-length novels and 56 short stories about the colorful adventures of Sherlock Holmes every word Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ever wrote about Baker Street's most famous resident. Also included is an introduction by lifetime Sherlockians Barbara and Christopher Roden. The Complete Sherlock Holmes is one of Barnes & Noble's Collectible Editions classics. Each volume features authoritative texts by the world's greatest authors in an exquisitely designed bonded-leather binding, with distinctive gilt edging and a ribbon bookmark. Decorative, durable, and collectible, these books offer hours of pleasure to readers young and old and are an indispensable cornerstone for every home library.

Great for gifting!

I purchased this book as a Christmas gift for a Sherlock Holmes fanatic. The book was great quality and made an excellent addition to his library. He loved the book and the 'fancy' cover!

Other occasion to buy:Convenient having the different stories in one spot. Takes up less space on the shelf.

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.
