Hello Bec
I would hope it would be worth a bit more now than I paid for it! I agree with you about Jeremy Brett - my favourite Sherlock - and the RDJ/Jude Law films are great fun. I especially enjoyed the second one. Have you seen the recent BBC series 'Sherlock'? (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00t4pgh They've updated the Sherlock Holmes stories to modern day - Benedict Cumberbatch is a great Holmes.

I hear you. My wife and I are wanting to relocate out of the southern united states, and I am leaning towards Portland, Oregeon, just because they have the nation's largest independent bookstore. FIVE locations! I'd never have to go into a stupid barnes & noble again!

I think I will hire the latest SH this weekend to watch, they are fun movies and great entertainment. I have never watched the recent 'Sherlock' but perhaps I will try and see if Season 1 can be rented and see what I think then....My father loved the books and bought the entire collection as well as the Brett Box set of SH. I have kept them, although I haven't read the books yet.
