I have searched my modest library for Sherlock Holmes tales and found that I only have one-The adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton. This is in a anthology of stories that were originally published in the Strand magazine. According to the dust cover on the two volumes the Strand magazine was the 1st to publish the Sherlock Holmes stories. So it looks like I’ve only one story to read at the moment, but for the next few days I am going to be gainfully employed around secondhand bookshops looking for others.
Good news! I have obtained a copy of the original illustrated Sherlock Holmes from my local ending library. I’ll be joining the read next week, I’m really looking forward to it.

So sorry Rafael, I'll get the discussion up today.
It's ok. I thought that something happened to the schedule and I was missing that information

Nope, I dropped the ball.
Thanks for all your admin Gem, it looks very labour intensive.
