Rutvik | 4 comments Hi,

I am looking for a book on Sherlock Holmes which covers all his short stories and novels with all the original illustrations including those by Sidney Paget.

I thought it would be easy, but I have not been able to find such a book! The only one I found is by topfivebooks.com but it is an ebook and not available in print.

Can someone help me in this?

Thanks in advance.

Many thanks! I have kept this on my list. The only point is that it does not cover the 3 novels. These novels were also illustrated when they originally came in Magazines but were not drawn by Sidney Paget to my understanding.

While growing up, I read the whole collection page by page and the illustrations really helped in building the atmosphere. Please do let me know if you come across any such book. Thanks again.

there is also a video over here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkWhr...

Is this the same book? i think so. But the only negative thing i noticed is that the font size is too small. It may be irritating to our eyes.
