New edition of Sherlock Holmes
I know that many here are Sherlock Holmes fans, so it may be of interest to some to note that I've just completed a major revision of my "Sherlock Holmes" omnibus and uploaded it in the usual formats to the book upload forums here.
Enjoy! [Kindle/Mobipocket, ePub, Sony LRF] Last edited by pdurrant; 11-20-2011 at 09:01 AM. Reason: Added in direct links |

Hello Harry, well done, been waiting for this, despite you introducing me to Thorndyke - and I know I'm technically challenged, but I've gone to MR Library and can't find it.
It's me, isn't it........ |

I've added direct links to the first post. And now I'm off to download the Mobipocket edition.

If anyone has any suggestions for improvements to the formatting, I'd love to hear them. I've experimented with a few things in this version, such as the use of block quotes and a smaller text size for such things as letters and quotes from newspapers. I think they work quite well, but I'd love to know if other people agree, and if anyone has any suggestions for further formatting changes.

Thanks so much, Harry. Of all the books I've downloaded from MR, this is my favorite. It's great that you're still improving it.

Well now I will have to download these fresh versions to replace the previous versions downloaded from MR. If not to actually read yet again, at least to check out the formatting. I appreciate you are keeping up the ideal of MR providing carefully proofed and well formatted versions of public domain books. |

A couple of people reported minor errors, so I've corrected these and uploaded a new version. The download links previously posted remain valid.
