I picked this up to have a nice Kindle edition of this portion of the Holmes works. It's nicely produced and formatted for the Kindle, and worth getting, particularly as long as the publisher continues to offer this special edition here on at zero cost.Be aware, though, that this is far from the complete Holmes stories. My recommendation for someone wanting a complete collection is to pick up this Kindle e-book: Sherlock Holmes: The Ultimate Collection. It's selling for a modest 99 cents at the present time here on , and it has essentially everything (see my review for the details: http://www..com/review/R1XW9M0NM1AQSK/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00DCD53C2).For reference, the following is a complete listing of the Holmes works, from the website sherlockian dot net.Sherlock Holmes appeared in a total of 60 stories, written by Arthur Conan Doyle and published between 1887 and 1927.
