Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, who first appeared in publication in 1887. He is the creation of Scottish born author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A brilliant London-based detective, Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess, and is renowned for his skillful use of deductive reasoning (somewhat mistakenly - see inductive reasoning) and astute observation to solve difficult cases. He is arguably the most famous fictional detective ever created, and is one of the best known and most universally recognizable literary characters in any genre.

Conan Doyle wrote four novels and fifty-six short stories that featured Holmes. All but four stories were narrated by Holmes' friend and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson, two having been narrated by Holmes himself, and two others written in the third person. The first two stories, short novels, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual for 1887 and Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in 1890. The character grew tremendously in popularity with the beginning of the first series of short stories in The Strand Magazine in 1891; further series of short stories and two serialized novels appeared almost right up to Conan Doyle's death in 1930. The stories cover a period from around 1878 up to 1903, with a final case in 1914.

This collection contains all the 60 official and the 6 unofficial Sherlock Holmes stories - in total 66 works (the biggest and greatest Sherlock Holmes collection in the eBook world).

            @Sike O: Oh, okay. I wonder why.

            • Sike O on 20/06/2020 - 00:09

              @coldlamb: Interesting, when I am logged in I get the results I mention above. When I look incognito, your link shows $0.00 and mine shows $0.75. Targetted pricing?

                @Sike O: Not sure. Is your account set to US? Mine is set to AU (used to be US) and the price is same whether I'm logged in or not.

    Use the Go To Deal link instead of the US Link. It works.

    Just checked and that was the 5th time I’ve got different publications of the Sherlock Homes Complete Collections. I might read it one day.

    It's out of copyright and in the public domain, so the text itself is free all over the internet - https://sherlock-holm.es/ Project Gutenberg, etc.

  • duskk on 20/06/2020 - 01:54

    Nice, got it. I just need a Kindle now.

      You can also use your browser.

      Go to Manage Your Content and Devices, select … (Actions) next to the title, and click on Read Now (2nd link from the bottom).

        You can also use the Amazon Kindle app on mobile.

    Why pay for this when it is totally free at project gutenberg: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/search/?query=sherlock+holme…

    The text of Sherlock Holmes is always free and be downloaded in various eBook formats at Project Gutenberg. Slapping a stock image (violin from depositphotos) on the front doesn't make it any more valuable.

    Seriously, just download the Gutenberg Magic Catalog to your Kindle, and get this and thousands of other books for free.
