(Part 2) Top products from r/Sherlock

Don't bother sleeping! I've been engrossed in the Sherlock universe since I first watched the series and read the books in 2014. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as well as Moffat and Gatiss saved my life. Have fun with the series and appreciate the intricacy of it all. Here's another peculiarity that might pique your interest.

That is a very nice edition. Excellent binding and cover art.

I would also recommend Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Illustrated Stories from 1986. It has all the short stories and novels as well as the illustrations and some of the fancy fonts for the story titles.

That's true. And I do have a nice collection of the stories from another publisher.

But I've seen these versions dominating the shelves and it really just strikes me as very classless - using the stories as merchandising for the show and plastering Cumberbatch and Freeman on the cover, even though the images do not really fit the content or the settings of the books they're on.

On the opposite end of this, Disney republished the original John Cater of Mars stories in 3 big volumes. These books are also mostly in the public domain (besides 1 or 2). The editions they put out weren't plastered with the movie poster or Taylor Kitsch - just a few small drawings that actually reflected what was in the books.

I think that's the right way to go about it. And over here, those books were very hard to find in bookshops so it was really welcome.

FYI: the first 6 cases are free on amazon app store.

Here's an Amazon link.

At first I thought OP wrote the book, now I see OP owns the book. Thanks for sharing.

Now that I've had a chance to look at it on my computer I looked at the books.

1. Sees a book by a Lavinía Smith.
   
2. Google can't find them or the book but Lavinia Smith top results lead to a virologist on Doctor Who.
   
3. Confirmed! Mary is actually River Song and her baby is a Time Lord. Well played Moffit.
   
4. (That was me joking.)
   
5. Next to it is: Systema Naturae 250 - The Linnaean Ark
   
6. I'm bored. Someone else do the rest.

As referred to, there's an excellent BBC radio dramatization of a lot of the original stories...nicely done. Right now BBC seems to re-arrange all the rights for their audio books once again, so it might take some digging to be able to buy them, but your library might have them all...mine sure does. Here's a link to one of them, but it's one in about 8 different 6 CD collections...

THIS is kind of a classic on the topic, for a good reason :) It won't exactly turn you into Sherl 2.0, but... It will teach you to read many signals people give away without even realizing it.

I was gifted a Sherlock mug that changes when it got hot and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever gotten.

Not only are there allusions to the books, but the books themselves are full of allusions too...

When the Robert Downey Jr. movie was about to come out I sat down with the three volume annotated Sherlock Holmes and learned more about Victorian/Edwardian culture than I could possibly have wanted to know.

Protip though - The annotations are written from the perspective of Sherlock and Watson being real, so there is a fair amount of tortured logic that can be made sensible by slapping the writer in the head and going "It's only a story!"
