The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (The Sherlock Holmes Reference Library)

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is the first volume of short stories in Edgar Award winner Leslie S. Klinger's original landmark series. In Adventures Sherlock Holmes tackles some of the most famous cases of his career, including: crossing swords with the beautiful Irene Adler, a Christmas-time jewel theft, and an encounter with The Speckled Band. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is one volume of The Sherlock Holmes Reference Library, an exhaustively annotated, nine-volume edition of the Sherlock Holmes tales. It's the most complete collection of Sherlockian scholarship and commentary ever assembled. No Sherlockian bookshelf is complete without it. Each illustrated volume is bursting with scholarly annotations and features a sturdy, smythe-sewn soft cover binding.

If you want to master just about everything there is to know about The Great Detective and The Good Doctor, to understand what Holmes meant when he referred to a comet vintage of wine, and to know what discrepancies there are between the English and American editions of the works, plus a thousand other things relating to Holmes, Watson, and the England of the Victorian era, you must have these volumes. - --Otto Penzler, The Mysterious Bookshop

...a beautiful piece of work, meeting and exceeding our expectations. This will be a standard for years to come, and every Sherlockian will want to have it. - --The Baker Street Journal

The standards of scholarship and production [of the series]...have never faltered. A wonderful project, excellently carried out. Highest recommendation. - --Roger Johnson, The Sherlock Holmes Society of London
