I’m new here – I’ve joined the forum specifically to ask a question, if that sounds a bit… rude I’m sorry – but please help me. Just like all of you I am a big fan of the 221b detective; I’ve read all of Conan Doyle stories (although I don’t own a “complete” Sherlock Holmes) and enjoyed very much the ’80s British series with Mr. Jeremy Brett. I even like the more recent Holmes with Johnny Lee Miller (at first I hated it, but his performance is brilliant, so I ended up loving his take on the character)
I’m looking for a “complete” edition of all the Sherlock Holmes stories, short novels, and maybe lesser known pieces of prose Conan Doyle wrote about him. I’ve checked a couple of… well, very popular online bookstores and found mostly selections, anthologies, compilations, etc. On one of them I found a “previously loved” (LOL!) two-volume edition; its condition was a big put off. On the other I found editions that I find visually appealing and at an affordable price:
• The Complete Sherlock Holmes (Barnes & Noble Collectible Classics: Omnibus Edition) Hardcover – 1096 pages • Complete Sherlock Holmes Collection: An Official Sherlock Holmes Museum Product Hardcover – 1096 pages – Publisher Mountain Leopard Press
Could anybody confirm (or not) that they are the “complete” stories? If not, could anybody recommend which edition I should look for and buy, offer an alternative? I would appreciate any advice/input/feedback from you. Hope to join one of your discussions one of these days; thank you in advance,
