I am not sure how I feel about this

They are issuing copies of Arthur Conan Doyle's Holmes stories with covers which are from Sherlock.

ETA - OMG - Martin Freeman wrote an intro for one of them...my consternation grows apace.

That's my main point, I think. They look like they're going to be novelizations of Sherlock. Anyone who doesn't glance through, or doesn't register the fact that Amazon lists ACD as the author; or, heck, someone who doesn't know who ACD is - is going to be mightily disappointed. The covers scream - action & adventure! Not - really awesome detective stories that don't actually feature any explosions!

Hmm. I thought there were occasional explosions. I'll have to look back. :-)

There could be, that was just the first, most obvious and noisy thing I could think of that people now might be looking for...especially if they've seen Sherlock, now that I think about it. There's quite a lot of exploding going on in TGG.
