The Return of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of 13 Sherlock Holmes stories, originally published in 1903-1904, by Arthur Conan Doyle.<br />The book was first published on March 7, 1905 by Georges Newnes, Ltd and in a Colonial edition by Longmans. 30,000 copies were made of the initial print run. The US edition by McClure, Phillips &amp;amp; Co. added another 28,000 to the run.<br />This was the first Holmes collection since 1893, when Holmes had &quot;died&quot; in &quot;The Adventure of the Final Problem&quot;. Having published The Hound of the Baskervilles in 1901&ndash;1902 (although setting it before Holmes&#39; death) Doyle came under intense pressure to revive his famous character.
