    The King of Detectives

    How can you go wrong with the great Holmes? And what could be better than the entire world of Sherlock's mysteries in the palm of your hand in paperback? I have only read the introduction so far, but I am very intrigued. Something I've always wanted to read.

    Good

    I like the content, and the price was ok, BUT did not realize the books would be so difficult to use. The books are extremely small, and difficult to keep open. Have trouble reading the material near the binding (center). I wish that I had purchased a different type that would have been easier (and) more pleasant to use...

  • Great classic stories

    Wish I had come across Sherlock when I was a kid. Storytelling ahead of its time. So well described you can easily imagine yourself right there with Holmes, Watson, LeStrade & Moriarty.
