(SH : Catch me John!
JW : I'm coming!

sorry )

Hi everyone. New guidebook is going to be released on October 23 this year. Here is some description..

'..Packed with exclusive unseen material, including all-new interviews with the cast and crew, this is Sherlock from the ground up: from story and script development to casting, sets, costumes, props, music and more. Each episode of the spectacular three series is remembered by those who made it, from the show's dazzling debut in A Study in Pink to this year's breathtaking finale, His Last Vow.'

I ordered The Casebook last week and now I'm looking forward to the new one. The cover really catches me than the previous.

For more info > http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sherlock-Chronicles-Steve-Tribe/dp/1849907625/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406014960&sr=8-1&keywords=sherlock+chronicles

Ps. Please tell me if I'm wrong posting this on this thread.

I own The Sherlock Files by Guy Adams, which is a guidebook covering seasons one and two. It was excellent as I read it cover to cover very quickly. However, I wouldn’t mind getting another guidebook that is more up to date and even more comprehensive. I hope it will eventually be available in the states so that I can order it on Amazon.

I own ' The Casebook', which is the official BBC one.

gently69 · July 25, 2014 2:55 pm

Yes, bb, I have this one as well.

Bronte89 · July 28, 2014 5:00 pm

This book looks great! It's perfect for me and it's on the top of my Christmas list.

besleybean · July 28, 2014 5:03 pm

I have it on pre-oder.

Bronte89 · September 13, 2014 2:42 pm

According to Amazon UK it is coming out on 6th November.

besleybean · September 13, 2014 3:41 pm

Cheers.

Amazon? Notorious tax avoidance, poor working conditions, their practice of discounting books, and the like make me avoid Amazon whenever possible.

Bronte89 · September 13, 2014 4:07 pm

I have to wait until Christmas for my copy but I bet its worth the wait!

besleybean · September 13, 2014 4:45 pm

Harriet, I wasn't saying I was getting it from Amazon, it was the date of release I was interested in.

Harriet · September 13, 2014 5:18 pm

Right. And I guess you also question what that company does behind the scenes.

besleybean · September 13, 2014 5:28 pm

Yes.

This sounds good!

Harriet, the "I avoid amazon whenever possible" is also what I would like to do.

But I find it difficult. Stupid question:
Where do you order your books if you're not in the UK? (I'm in Germany, amazon.co.uk has got the books I need, I don't want to order there, where else do I get them? - the local bookstore isn't really into fan stuff on BBC series)
Same thing with british DVDs really. I don't like amazon, but it IS the easiest option. I'd be glad to know a good alternative. (and preferably one with proper payment options, because I don't do paypal etc)

Whisky, you can ask your bookstore if they would get it for you, the majority of bookstores have now this possibility. It takes some time for the new english books and you have to go once again to the bookstore to take it, but if you don't like Amazon this is the best option. Another is through ebay, there are loads of seller offering new books, but you have no idea if they are better than Amazon.

You're quite right there.
But shouldn't the choice be "I don't wear clothes because I don't want to support the bad way they're made and brought to me", but "I still need something to wear how can I actively improve the way it's made and distributed?"
DVDs and books might not be essential for my well-being (well... ahem), but I don't think I'm putting egoistic desire over social conscience if I want to have that book Books aren't themselves bad things, neither are clothes, neither is coffee or chocolate, are they? Avoiding won't change the world, improving does (in most areas at least?).
Maybe that's what you meant anyway?
