Sherlock’s Books: Master List Through Season 2
EDIT -> I give up trying to keep this up-to-date on tumblr. See my BBC Sherlock Books Masterlist on LJ for the latest and greatest!
DRAFTS ONLY of this document are available here: (Part I) (Part II) (Part III) (Part IV) Please Note— there have been many revisions since I’ve posted them. This is the most complete post to date.
Links, for the most part, point to http://amazon.co.uk. If there is no link it usually means the book is out-of-print.
I’ve seperated books visible at 221B from others in different locations because they belong to the primary characters.
These are the books that I’ve caught but it’s always possible I missed some!
BIG thanks to naturalshocks & anons for reporting several books that I’ve missed.
Please send additions, corrections, comments, questions, etc. to http://mid0nz.tumblr.com
