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.

True. That hadn't even occurred to me. Who even gets that money at this point?

Publishers and booksellers, for the most part.

The story of Doyle's literary estate is a fascinating tale in and of itself; you can read about it here. I recently read a mystery featuring a hidden Doyle manuscript and his Surrey mansion, Undershaw; not the most well-written novel, but the historical details were very interesting. Can't, of course, remember the title or author at the moment.

That is certainly convoluted.

Oh man, I want his house! Milne's house just went of for sale recently.
