By the Book | A Sherlock Holmes publication timeline
Note: Numbered lists indicate the writing and magazine publication order, which were usually the same (exceptions noted). Timelines indicate the book order or the story order in each collection. Until His Last Bow, stories were usually (not always) spaced one month apart. There was usually (not always) a lag time of about one month between UK and US publication. Stories were not always published in the UK first. Book covers represent the first hardcover editions. Red titles indicate a story was positioned later in a collection relative to its writing order, blue titles earlier.
