All of the complete novels. Yes it's a large book. A true classic. An awakening. Thank you Arthur Conan Doyle

I love Sherlock Holmes

Essential reading, this paperback edition is my favorite along with the other volume. I wear glasses and found the typeface easy to read.

I've run the course now and followed along through every adventure spanning Sherlock's 27 year career and find myself feeling as so many of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's readers felt in his time...I don't want to say goodbye. I had never read Sherlock Holmes and have never been a big fan of short stories, having found most boring, uninteresting and unimaginative. The latter I'm sorely lacking in myself, perhaps all three,, so I pick up on this easily when reading someone else's work. Mr. Doyle was none of those things and has the ability to grasp the attention early on and only make you greedy for more. I don't know where he got all his ideas but imagination was not his weakness and one of my favorites from the casebook files must always be "The "Lion's Mane. Who would have thought the culprit to be the world's largest jellyfish?? And a story that brought back childhood memories on St. Augustine beach encountering my first jellyfish, though obviously not the fatal results! If you're someone who enjoys short stories of the titillating type with only brief intervals in which to read, this book along with volume 1, comes highly recommended. One doesn't notice the hundreds of pages comprising these volumes, only a sadness at them coming to an end from a life well lived in it's bringing so much enjoyment to others. It is not hard to see why so many have said they will read these stories again for the sheer pleasure it brings to revisit a long lost friend. Many thanks as well to all those hard working souls at Wikipedia and Bing translation for making my reading experience always one of learning as well as enjoyment. Odd though it may be to many, these are my most favored and most used features on my Fire which I also must give a 5 star review for such a seamless experience all around thus far. should you happen to be someone who uses Wikipedia, please consider making a donation to them. They are supported only through donations and a contribution of only $3.00 keeps them up and running to provide books and education to those far less fortunate than many reading this review. The world is full of so many wonders offering so much knowledge from then to now. Please consider this the next time you find yourself tapping "go to Wikipedia". It's less than the cost of many books and games we purchase and where would we be as people who enjoy our reading without them? I can't imagine my world without books and the knowledge they have brought over the years nor why others who've never had access should want for something so priceless. Please consider this.

I enjoy reading Sherlock Holmes. It was unfortunate that the book was water damaged when received.

Good addition to the first book as a Vol 1-2 collection. Light and small enough to fit in a bag and travel. Great compilation of the additional stories to the main.

Livraison rapide et bon produit.

Book binding is very poor. Anyone who wants to buy, please think twice.

The perfect book to read the Watson dairies .

لكن عيبه الوحيد حجمة صغير والصفحات كثيرة جدا أخشي إن الورق يفك من بعضه توقعته كبير الحجم من ناحية الأبعاد

ここを閲覧するような方には、英語の勉強の一環で物色されている方も多いのではないでしょうか。 多くの教材で使われるくらいなので、ドイルの文章は節度があって整い分かりやすいです。 当時の知識階級のありようを表している気がします。 この辺りは、近年のメディアや映画の原作で使われるような現代的な砕けた英語とは対照的です。 個人的には今飛び交い使われている英語を知った方がよいと思っていますが、日本人になじみのない英語圏の考え方や習慣に触れるという意味では、記述の分かりやすい本作品は、その導入としてふさわしいかもしれません。 型通りの教材から離れ、現地の人が使っている生の英語に触れることは大切なことです。 ホームズシリーズは好きだったので読んでましたが、原書で読むのは別な面白さがありますね。 ホームズって邦訳で見たとき割と断定調で話す人だな、と感じていましたが、原文でも確かにそんな調子に書かれています。 ワトスンとの会話が対照的です。 挿絵もなくて文字がびっしり並んだ編集ですが（印刷がくっきりしているので読みにくくはない）、値段も安いのでそれに納得できれば十分だと思います。 内容は当然面白いです。
