The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Illustrated)

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Illustrated) for $0

May 13, 2012 2:28 AM

This is not the usual perennial classic, this version is illustrated!

• Includes all 104 original illustrations by Sidney Paget done for the Strand Magazine
• A brief introduction
• Biography and selected bibliography of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

After Arthur Conan Doyle introduced Sherlock Holmes in the novel A Study in Scarlet in 1887, he wrote a series of twenty-four short mysteries featuring the detective and his colleague, Dr. Watson, in the pages of the Strand Magazine from 1891 to 1893.

THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES collects the first twelve of these tales—including “A Scandal in Bohemia” (which introduces Irene Adler), “The Red-Headed League,” “The Five Orange Pips,” and “The Speckled Band”—some of the greatest stories in the Sherlock Holmes canon.

Seems like making it clearer that this is just for the Kindle would be a good idea...

@gewoodworth: I have the Kindle App on my Android. I would guess it's available for every other device.

Just downloaded it to my Android phone. Works perfect. It's not just for the Kindle.

I set up an app on Amazon that states "Kindle for PC"; I can also download to my Android phone.

About 75% of these books on Amazon CAN be downloaded to your computer or phone!

Thanks for posting!! Time for some summer reading!

I downloaded the book with no apparent problems. I'm viewing it with Kindle for PC (I don't have an actual physical Kindle device).

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I don't see any illustrations. I have clicked through, using the right arrow, up to "Adventure III" but all I see is text.

Do I need to do something special to see the illustrations?

Thanks all!

@crowbite The illustrations display fine in both my 'Kindle for PC' and my actual Kindle device. There are a couple of drawings in just the first several pages. Beats me. Maybe there is some option that disables images? shrug

@mikemtn: I know this is a bit late, but I just meant that it might be good to clarify that it's an e-book for Kindle and Kindle apps, not a regular book for those of us that may still prefer paper.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
