V.R. stands for Victoria Regina (Queen Victoria)... In one of the Conan Doyle stories when describing Holmes rooms at 221b Baker Street he explains that Holmes has written V.R. in the wall in BULLET MARKS (possibly while practicing marksmanship with Watson's service revolver?) Can't imagine Mrs. Hudson was too pleased. Points deducted for not knowing that trivia!
Your enthusiasm is beyond adorable lol when you said "I didn't even notice this!!" It literally made me smile... I just ordered the B&N Leather Bound Classic of The Entire Sherlock Holmes Collection in one volume last night, it will be here tm and I can't wait... Over 1100 pages containing all 4 novels and 56 short stories in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series... I'm now addicted to these leather bound classics, I have the Canterbury Classic Leather Bound Encyclopedia of Tolkien and my list keeps growing.. Gorgeous books
Bridget, I was being Mr Grumpy, you have some nice books. Keep collecting and enjoying. And yes, A Scandal In Bohemia was Doyle' s first Holmes short story. To buy the first appearance of Holmes in print, if you could find one, you'd have to pay $300,000 or more!
I think you're right that A Scandal in Bohemia is the first story in the bind ups, but A Study in Scarlet is the first story, but is obviously a novel and therefore depends whether you consider that a 'story' hahaa! Great collection, they're beautiful stories and beautiful books!
There is no better Sherlock Holmes portrayal than Jeremy Brett. Everyone is like Benedict Cumberbatch is the best not for me my favourite by far is Jeremy Brett. But Mr Cumberbatch is still a fantastic actor oh and the VR on the last book is what Holmes shoots into the wall. Meaning Victoria Regina which is Latin the English translation is Queen Victoria.
Every time I go to London I go in Speedy's, the cafe below Sherlock's home and order the same thing: ham omelette and chips! I'll be there again the month after next. My favourite Sherlock collection is a facsimile of the Strand magazine's original pages.All the best from England!
I hope you see this. The 1882 Adventures if Sherlock Holmes may be a first US edition . That book was originally published in 1892. You should price it if you still have it. You should see how valuable it is
Hi you need to collect the Tossers of Dr Watson.. if you can find them. Its all the stories in a file with all letters and Clues, photos and much more. They sometimes come up for sale on Ebay. It will open up another World to you. Best ever Sherlock Holmes, Jeremy Brett.
VR are the Queen's initials that Sherlock Holmes shot into his wall when he was bored. That's the inspiration for BBC Sherlock spraying the smiley face on his wall :)
Some I’ve got that you don’t: the big two-volume Annotated Sherlock Holmes, and the Folio Society edition. I love your Barnes & Noble ones! Great portrayals: Jeremy Brett, Basil Rathbone and, of course, William Gillette, check out images. William Gillette wrote a play, which he acted in. This stage production is on TH-cam starring the gorgeous Frank Langella, check it out too!
What you did not realised that the second last book you showed is nie of THE first editions of the Adventure of Sherlock Homes..... Do you even realised what treasure you are holding there? That's emotional value of it self and the price value is unbelievable... and you did not even realised
OMG some of these are absolutely stunning! 😍 Thanks for reminding me that I need to get a nice edition too. I read Sherlock either in ebook format or by listening to Librivox audiobooks, but I would love to own a beautiful edition too!
An absolutely jaw droppingly beautiful girl that is so passionately into Sherlock Holmes??? With all due respect, please marry me :) Btw, I am taking a video of my humble Sherlock Holmes collection in a week, you should check it out. I grew up in a Sherlock Holmes family, where most of the books have been passed on from my Dad. Recently I just got one of my favorite stories, the Easton Press Deluxe edition of The Hound of the Baskervilles - which is gorgeous. You should check out the Folio Society and Easton Press if you want to collect beautiful leatherbound Holmes books! Ps. A Scandal in Bohemia is also one of my all-time favorites! Beautiful collection, thank you for sharing
So late seeing this but I loved this video! I have the Heirloom set too and I was so happy that I was able to find it before it got so expensive since it is out of print now (I also really want the Jane Austen Heirloom set but that's going for like $200 now :(). The only one of the Sherlock Holmes stories I've read so far though is my puffin classic of Hound of the Baskervilles when I was little but I loved it so much! Now that I have the Heirloom books though and the audio books narrated by Simon Vance (if you like audio books I highly recommend checking him out, he is a great narrator, especially of classics) I want to start reading the books and stories in order later this year 😀. Not to be a bad influence on your collecting or anything but have you seen the Penguin English Library editions? The Book Depository website sells them and the whole collection of those classics are slowly going out of print so at the moment they are all like 50% off so only like $5 or $6 each and the covers are so pretty! They have the four novels and 3 collections of the short stories in these editions. Also did you ever watch Wishbone when you were little? it is a kids show about classics and there are episode adaptations for Hound of the Baskervilles and Scandal in Bohemia (I think). Also do you watch Elementary? I love Sherlock but I like Elementary more, they are both really good though😀 Lastly, is the 1892 copy a first edition? Either way that is awesome and for the copy with VR the only thing I can think it might stand for is Victoria Regina because Victoria was queen when the first Sherlock Holmes stories and novels were coming out but it seems odd that that would be printed on a copy from the 50s. Sorry for the rambly comment but this was such a cool video!
@@misha_rocks2672 of course! I think I managed to find it at such a good price because it was either still in print or it had only just gone out of print so it was easier to find (I got it for Christmas 4 or 5 years ago). After your question, I googled it out of curiosity and unfortunately now, it's gone up quite a bit, I could only find it 2 places, ebay had a set for $155 and then someone on Amazon was selling it for $370! That's outrageous in my opinion.
Hi just watched ur video. Really great and I think ur really gorgeous. I too have an enormous collection of Sherlock Holmes books in hardback, soft back, comic book, book sets, etc. A few I got signed by Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke. My treasured possessions! Also I too love blue, that's my the favourite colour of all time. Just to let u know VR was the queen Victoria Regina. Holmes fired shots into the wall to make VR in one of the stories because he was bored! Loved ur video and keep up with the collection.
Bridgets Bookshelf "I have always held, too, that pistol practice should be distinctly an open-air pastime; and when Holmes, in one of his queer humours, would sit in an arm-chair with his hair-trigger and a hundred Boxer cartridges, and proceed to adorn the opposite wall with a patriotic V. R. done in bullet-pocks, I felt strongly that neither the atmosphere nor the appearance of our room was improved by it. " (The Musgrave Ritual) *V. R. = Victoria Regina (Queen Victoria)
Thank you very much for the video. I would love to see the Sherlock Holmes merchandise and all the things of Sherlock Holmes that you have in your collection. I am a big fan,too, and it is always great to see other fences enthusiastic as I am :) can you give me an advice where I can find the Barns and Noble book number one in your review?
Re: the last book you showed. I think 'VR' could mean 'Victoria Regina' ie the time where most of the Holmes stories are set, the Victorian era (Victoria Regina = Queen Victoria). By the way, do you collect Sherlock Holmes parodies as well? I can recomment Donald Thomas and June Thomson, also Denis O. Smith.
I have the gold collection of first book and it has many of falls in writing like the (ran) it’s supposed to be run And (hansome) and so many falls and I think your a bibliomaniac of Sherlock Holmes hhhhh
i just finished watching the series and i would absolutely love to read the books. i just don't know which books to buy. there are so many! does anyone have some advice?
fem baeten There are 4 novels and 56 short stories in total. The 4 novels are: A study in scarlet The sign of four The hounds of Baskervilles The valley of fear The short stories are divided in 5 different titles namely: The adventures of Sherlock Holmes The memoirs of Sherlock Holmes The return of Sherlock Holmes His last bow The case book of Sherlock Holmes You can get all the novels and short stories on Amazon in a single book or two books. Hope I cleared most of your doubts.Happy reading!
It's called an endpaper, not inside cover. Jagged edges are called deckled, not ribbed. They're gilded gold not trimmed gold. Better educate yourself on basic parts of a book and bookbinding if you're to be a proper bibliophile.
polaroidsandparchment U buy a ton of books as a collection. People by Barbie dolls or comic books and never use them. Bc it's a collection. Are u ignorant enough to not know that?
Ammar Ali she did read them. She read the stories. She just has them in different editions. You can buy something because it looks nice. People buy books for decor in their homes. Things don’t need to be used for their “intended purpose”. U can buy whatever u want for whatever reasons.
@@AMR-zo5ut Just because you have an opinion does not mean you have to express them everytime. This is clearly a video of a girl showing her love for holmes with her collections, and to have people like you saying passive-aggressively that what she's doing is pretty much useless because she could just buy one book instead of having many of the same book is just a mood downer.

I share your addiction for Sherlock Holmes. Cool that you still have the copy your grandmother gave to you!
