The Secret Cases of Sherlock Holmes
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

The premise: Sherlock Holmes did not in fact retire in 1903 to a quiet life of beekeeping in Sussex, but instead worked covertly as the consulting detective in some of the Edwardian era's most baffling, actual cases.The result: A collection of tales that compellingly weds fiction to history, as Baker Street's famous resident and his cohort Dr. Watson investigate seven of the most celebrated mysteries in the annals of true crime, from the grisly murder of a prostitute to the alleged bigamy of King George V. With Watson grumbling all the way, he and Holmes travel to Paris to vindicate Captain Dreyfus and become embroiled in the suspicious death of the French president Faure. They book passage to Yokohama, too, to solve a mystifying case of what appears to be arsenic poisoning, while closer to home they investigate the 1907 theft of the Irish crown jewels. And on at least one occasion, the formidable ratiocinative powers of the eminent Holmes save not only the day but the monarchy, government, and nation as well.
