The Best of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is a Wordsworth Classics paperback collecting twenty of the detective's finest short stories, selected and introduced by David Stuart Davies. The collection also includes illustrations from The Strand Magazine, where many of Holmes's adventures first appeared.

What makes this edition particularly interesting is how the stories were chosen. Twelve come from Conan Doyle's own personal favorites, with eight additional selections by Davies. You'll find familiar mysteries such as A Scandal in Bohemia, The Speckled Band, and The Blue Carbuncle, along with other cases that reveal just how observant, eccentric, and occasionally exasperating Sherlock Holmes can be.

I like this collection because it gives readers a wonderful way to discover Holmes one case at a time. And something worth noticing: Holmes doesn't simply look at things. He notices what everyone else has overlooked. There's quite a difference.

FAQs

WHAT IS A GICLEÉ PRINT?

Giclee printing is currently the highest quality standard for printing single or limited edition prints. The term "giclee"(pronounced "ZHEE-CLAY")is a French word meaning "to spray." Giclee prints are created by spraying millions of droplets of ink onto archival fine-art substrates. The word "giclee," as a fine-art term, has come to be associated with prints using fade-resistant archival pigmented inks printed on archival substrates by professional inkjet printers. Giclee prints represent the highest evolution in printmaking technology. The giclee printing process provides better color accuracy and richer depth of color than other means of art reproduction possible.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT ABOUT THE PRINT QUALITY?

A great gicleé print begins with a great image. We proudly use a privately owned giclee printing company founded in 2003 that services the fine art and photography markets. They have gained international recognition with featured articles about their services in Digital Ouput Magazine, Digital Photo Pro Magazine and on the Oprah show. Osio-Brown Editions is one of the original giclee printing studios in the Chicago area and is a preeminent force in the fine art giclee printing industry. Their client list extends throughout the United States, Central & South America and Europe.

WHAT ABOUT FRAMING?

The prints are standard sizes allowing them to be framed easily with stock size frames found in most stores. Custom framing is always a beautiful option but not necessary.

CAN I ORDER AN ORIGINAL AND/OR CUSTOM PIECE OF ARTWORK?

YES! ALL of our artwork is painted by local artists with wonderful reputations and are more than happy to embellish, to create, and to work with you! Contact us through email for all questions. order@libertyschoolhouse.com
