So interesting! Thank you.

I love my "Oxford Sherlock Holmes", a 9-volume hardcover set published by OUP in 1993-1997. It's an annotated edition, with genuinely useful brief critical comments in the appendix. It seems to have been a one-off; i bought it when it came out and I don't think it has been reprinted.

How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth? The first appearance of the phrase in its most quoted form. However, earlier in the story, chapter 1, Holmes tells Watson: Eliminate all other factors, and the one…

From slapping a pointless legal disclaimer on a public-domain character to fighting a CGI dinosaur, Sherlock Holmes has faced many improbable foes, but few as baffling as bad adaptations.

"Mr. Holmes, they were the footprints of a gigantic hound!"
