The first novel of the legendary detective of fiction, Sherlock Holmes, is here presented for readers in a handsome new digital edition. It includes a variety of original illustrations from the 1888 edition of the novel, published by Ward, Lock and Co., to delight the Sherlock Holmes enthusiast as well as the new reader.
