Summary: Good stories, bad format.
Comment: These are some of Doyle's best Holmes stories, but the Dover Thrift Edition is cheap and cheaply made. It provides no notes, no nothing besides the bare bones of the stories. I have liked none of the Dover Thrift series and can barely read them, they are so cheaply made! I made the mistake of buying 20 or so, so my mission is warning the world. Do not buy this edition!

Summary: The super sleuth
Comment: In detective literature Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with his Sherlock Holmes series is undoubtedly one of the best authors ever. His character Sherlock Holmes has a remarkable power of observation and his deductions from minutest details are plainly stunning. I feel there never is a dull moment in his stories; which are concise to the point. This compilation of six stories is no exception. My favorite from this list is "The Adventure of the Empty House"; in which Holmes busts the remaining group of Prof Moriati's gang. I will not divulge further for fear of giving up the plot.

Summary: Well worth the price!
Comment: For less then the price of a cup of coffee, you can own a copy of what I consider to be Sir A Conan Doyle's best Sherlock Holmes stories.
This book contains 6 stores. A Scandal in Bohemia. In this story you see Holmes pitted against a female that may just be his equal.
Next is The Red Headed League. This is the weak story in this collection. Still worth a read, but not a very thoughtful one.
Next is The Adventure of the Speckled Band. Holmes and Watson visit the countryside to examine a death most foul.
The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb is a short tale of a young mans missing digit.
Next is the final problem and closes with The adventure in the Empty house. I will give no plot away on these since they are my favourite Holmes stories.
Overall for under a buck, a GREAT value!
