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.

Did you notice on the John Watson blog site (the official one associated with the show) that the story of the Alumnium Crutch contains a character named Sidney Paget.

I do see what you mean about the marketing of those books. Perhaps some people will be exposed to canon by stealth? Maybe it's a Moftiss plan to trick everyone into reading the originals. Let me know if you do see the intros, and I'll keep an eye out here for them too.

Canon by stealth! Oh, that's an icon waiting to happen!

Sneaky, sneaky canon...
