However, if you were one of the entrants not to be drawn, Week two of the giveaway affords you another chance to win this fabulous prize.
Mike Bryan, Director of publishers Baker Street Press, spoke in advance of the collection’s recent release.
“There has always been a high level of interest in the ‘consulting detective’ and we felt the time was right to launch the ‘Sherlock Holmes Deluxe Classics Series’. This collection of nine hardback books is a retro-inspired full set of Arthur Conan Doyle’s wonderful tales of Holmes at work.
“Originally serialised in newspapers and magazines in the late nineteenth century, Conan Doyle’s famous collection of detective stories transport the reader back to Holmes’s bustling Victorian London, the misty moors of Dartmoor, the dizzying heights of the Reichenbach Falls and the cosy living room of 221B Baker Street,” he added.
“They feature the original cover illustrations from editions of the 1920’s, and would enhance anybody’s bookshelves,” concluded Bryan.
