I like Sherlock Holmes, but this edition is full of atrocious typos. It is also possible to download a free version elsewhere, so the $0.80 isn’t really such a bargain.

The tales are fantastic, and the edition is simple to navigate but there are is an unacceptable number of typos. I judge there is another perfect collection of “Holmes” tales that is also 99 cents. Maybe it has less typos?

The Holmes tales span a period from 1880 to 1914 (though most of the tales are set before 1903 — Conan Doyle wrote them starting in 1892 through 1925). It is appealing to compare the original tales with the Basil Rathbone movies (which most of us are familiar with — only two of which were based in any fantastic way on the tales).
Based on the tales, I would say that Rathbone’s portrayal was right on; whereas Nigel Bruce’s Watson was perhaps a bit more bumbling than that depicted in the tales.
Another discovery was the references to America in the tales. Two stand out in my memory: in “A Study in Scarlet” nearly half the book is a tale within a tale about mormons in Utah around the time of Brigham Young (although he is not specifically mentioned, several senior “bishops” are). Another tale’s key clue was “KKK”, and I’m thinking Ku Klux Klan — but it couldn’t be? But it really was about the clan (in Florida in 1869) — also an appealing explanation of the derivation of the name “Ku Klux Klan” is agreed by Holmes.
My main reason for reading these (even though they are crackling excellent tales in their own right) was to get a picture from the background of the state of equipment in the 1880s and 90s. Electric lighting does not appear much, nor do autos. On the additional hand in one of the earliest tales reference is made to the fact that there was a telephone at Scotland Yard. Quick travel is permanently by train, and quick communications is permanently by telegraph. Cars do appear in a few of the later tales.
Kindle formatting was adequate; the table of contents (of a very large compound book) was helpful.
