I would recommend a website on victorian etiquette, but I don't think that would be of any help...Still, I'll try and think about it.

Erm, on the topic of "information about Sherlock Holmes", have you considered his "biography" Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street by Baring-Gould ? That should cover some ground on the subbject.

Appearance of Sherlock Holmes in the book and film...well, here you can definitely tal about the various adaptations made on the character -starting with the representation by Paget (the illustrator) to the different actors who have portrayed him. Might be a fun thing to say/comment on the fact that Ben's Mum told him "but you haven't the right nose" when he was cast as Sherlock Holmes?
As for the character traits, I suppose you could focus on the various types which are emphasised for every adaptation (I'm so sorry I seem to be stuck on the topic) eg. House M.D., Elementary, BBC Sherlock, Granada Sherlock, ...

I'm sure it's only a typo, but don't write "for e.g". Either write "for example" or "e.g."

Im not sure how I will write chapter II , about image of S.H in The memoirs... and film Games of Shadows.
My supervisor told me to write some info S.H from book and then compare it to the one from film and again and again. - this is what I know for a moment, but still I dont get it(am sure that I will write there about what he was doing, with who he was working, about his friends etc; so about everything(2.1), just not about character traits, because for this I have 2.2), this what you've said is pretty interesting, could you give me some more information when you will have time? Thanks

It may be a good start to point out that Holmes image has been hyperbolised in Guy Ritchie adaptation. E.g. original Holmes is a good boxer (but boxes only in his pastime), is a good fencer and has some knowledge of martial arts... Guy Ritchie Holmes is a devilish fighter who boxes in a ring with tough guys, knows incredible kung-fu moves, can deduce the moves of his enemy with bullet speed... Original Holmes is a slight misanthrope but knows how to behave in society... Guy Ritchie Holmes is a bit on the spectrum and actively hates society etc.

In chapter III I will write about S.H methods of detection(professional life) but not sure what books would be helpful and same with his private life. In 'The Sign of Four' I've found some information about deduction method and some in 'A study in Scarlet'.
 

I think this quotes categorised after main features of Holmes thinking may come in handy:

This is also a famous book:

Wow. Hello guys. I really appreciate your help! All information are useful, thank you for helping me.
I had some time and already 'checked' few of them them and I've already added few.

The Scientific Sherlock Holmes - Cracking the Case with Science and Forensics
(cant find full version of it ) - really interesting one , but there are only few pages available 

Amazing & Extraordinary Facts: Sherlock Holmes; Nick Utechin; F&W Media International, Ltd 2012
Only got 19 pages but still useful, eg. from where Sherlock Holmes name come from.

Sherlock Holmes for Dummies; Steven Doyle, Publisher The Baker Street Jornal; David A.Crowder; Wiley Publishing, Inc. ; 2010

'Sherlock Holmes: The Unauthorized Biography' ; Nick Rennison; Atlantic Books; London 2005

'The Sherlock Holmes Miscellany' ; Roger Johnson & Jean Upton ; 2012; The History Press

'Sherlock Holmes on the Stag: A  chronological Encyclopedia of Plays Featuring The Great Detective; Amnon Kabatchnik; The Scarecrow Press, INC; 2008 USA

'The Sherlock Holmes Handbook' by Ransom Riggs; Quirk Productions; 2009 (about methods and mysteries of S.H)

Already added them to my bibliography, I'll use few pages from them , because I dont have to read whole books , just use pages that I need to and can add book to my bibliography, just have to write pages that I used from books ;)

To sum up , already got 20. Plus I've found an article about S.H 
http://www.britannica.com/topic/Sherlock-Holmes   and might be useful; (still can add 2 more articles to my bibliography, I need to find interesting article about SH from 'Games of Shadows', so it will be easier for me to write chapter II)

http://sherlockholmesquotes.com/Sherlock-Holmes-on-Deduction-and-Deductive-Reasoning.html - also looked at this , and seems pretty interesting, because 1 quote = 1 book ; ) Great idea and it will be really useful for my chapter III when I will write about methods.


I still need to check few of them that you have posted guys, I'll do this later or tomorrow, because am still busy at work..

ps. as my supervisor told me , I need to have 30 positions in my bibliography but I can use even 1 page from that book or even 1 quote and I can add this to my bibliography.

And I will add a long essay on Guy Ritchie´s adaptation for you:

http://www2.oakland.edu/oujournal/files/24_sherlock_holmes.pdf
 

There are a few topics you could write about in that section:

a) Sherlock´s "confirmed bachelorship"
b) his personal relationship with his brother, his friendship with John, his conduct with other people surrounding him (Mrs. Hudson)
c) personal habits - cleanliness and great care about his appearance versus his very unruly Bohemian habits and his tendency to turn his flat into a rubbish heap
d) drug use - appearing in his dark days of boredom when he has no cases
e) speculation about how he spends his days based on original stories - he certainly spends some time exercising (box, martial arts), studying (sciences and the facts about various criminal cases), writing monographs, collecting interesting trivia about people and various topics of interest, practicing chemistry, attending pathology, library, offices, courts of law (studing law and casuistics) etc.
f) his penchant for music (violin), attending concerts and galleries,
h) walks which give him intimate knowledge of London,
i) his ability to blend into various sceneries while in disguise indicates that he studies these sceneries and people inhabiting them thoroughly - he certainly spends some time this way.

It was a pleasure.

You could also add something about his strange eating habits and his smoking etc.

Hello guys, thanks once again for your tips and help. Soon I will start writing my chapter II but I have no clue how to start this chapter, I and III thanks to your tips are finished

I am ashamed but I have no idea for chapter II and I need some clues, help. 
Thank you all once again.

I'll give you once again the info of my chapter II:
The appearance of Sherlock Holmes.
- The appearance of Sherlock Holmes in the book and the film. - this is the most problematic one, I have no idea how should I start, describing it in the book and film, any example will save my life 
- Character traits.

ps. The book is: The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes
