Although I'd read a lot of Sherlock Holmes years ago, I'm very much enjoying the book. It's good to have all the Holmes stories together and in chronological order. However, doing that in one volume produced a book so big that's a little hard to handle. If I had it to do over, I'd try to duplicate the benefits -- completeness and chronological order -- by finding a version, if there is one, in a 2- or 3-volume edition.

Another Treasure from the Past
This book is a large volume of detective stories of varying length. It is an easy read and convenient if you only have time for a shorter length story. As the second of these books it also is entertaining, enjoyable and satisfying. Would recommend it to anyone who enjoys detective stories and particularly the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's master detective , Sherlock Holmes.

Antique Book that is lovely to read
I love the antique nature of this older book and it has all of the Sherlock Holmes stories included in it.
It is for adult reading but I love the historic setting of the stories. I had never read Sherlock Holmes before and I am enjoying it very much. I enjoy reading and learning from an English perspective in these stories.
