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.

I guess that is one way to make money off of books people can otherwise get for free! :)

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.
