It's best, if you can, to read the Dr. Thorndyke books in their published order

I take your point, Harry. I started with the
Red Thumb Mark, which I think was his first full-lenght story (?) - it was published in 1907. I then went on to one of the short story collections, but to be honest I don't remember if I downloaded it from here or somewhere else. I see there are at least a couple of volumes in the download section here that I haven't seen - l'll get to them in dur course.
