Collecting Sherlock Holmes Memorabilia

Well over a century after he first appeared in print, Sherlock Holmes is still one of the world's best loved fictional characters and there are many fans collecting Sherlock Holmes memorabilia. The original stories by Arthur Conan Doyle are always in demand for their intricate plots and portrayal of Victorian London and modern tourists still make their way to Baker Street to have a look at the house in which Sherlock Holmes is supposed to have lived.

Movies and a TV series have brought the pipe-smoking, violin playing sleuth to new audiences and ensured that there is a wealth of collectable items associated with him. Conan Doyle's preferred format was the short story and he wrote 56 between 1887 and 1927. He also wrote four full length novels, including the classic The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Sherlock Holmes made his debut in A Study in Scarlet, initially part of Beeton's Christmas Annual 1887. The first edition of the novel, which includes six illustrations by the author's father, Charles Doyle, was published by Ward, Lock and Co in June 1888. The book was printed in small numbers, with rather fragile white paperback covers, few of which have survived the wear and tear of 120 years. Many owners had their copies bound in leather to strengthen them and as a result these are more common. Today A Study in Scarlet is the most valuable Holmes first edition and it is worth around £40,000 - £50,000 for an unbound copy in good condition. Leather-backed copies are worth about half that. There are two pressings of the first edition; the 'second state' features the misspelling 'youuger' in the preface. Both versions are of equal value.

After the second full-length mystery, The Sign of Four, Conan Doyle concentrated on producing short stories for The Strand magazine. As Holmes popularity grew, publishers realised his commercial potential and began collating the stories. The first collection, the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, appeared in 1892, in a large pale blue cloth bound edition, blocked in gilt and black. Like several Conan Doyle first editions, copies with original dust wrappers are exceedingly rare and would fetch six figure sums in fine condition, which would probably put it out of reach of the average fan collecting Sherlock Holmes memorabilia. Without the wrapper the price drops considerably.

The Hound of the Baskervilles, initially serialised in The Strand, was published as a novel by George Newnes Ltd in 1902. By now Holmes was a literary phenomenon and the first edition of 25,000 sold out rapidly.

Finding the highly decorative, red cloth edition in excellent condition is not easy, however, as the pages are prone to 'foxing' or brown spots, so copies are worth around £5,000. Only three copies with original dust wrappers are known to have survived. If one ever came onto the market, the seller could name their price.

There is also demand for the magazines which first published Holme's adventures. For example, an original set of Strand magazines covering the period 1891 - 1921, which included nearly all the original Holmes stories, recently sold for £3,500.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle died in 1930, leaving a collectables legacy. Various actors have played Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Dr Watson and while Basil Rathbone was the early success as Holmes, modern audiences think that Jeremy Brett in the TV series was the definitive Sherlock Holmes.

The BBC 's recent adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, set in modern London, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as Dr Watson was very well received and is likely to produce a whole new batch of Sherlock Holmes memorabilia.

The Top 10 Mistakes Homeowners Make When Buying a Furnace or Air Conditioner

Purchasing a new heating, cooling or air quality system for your home is one of the most important buying decisions you and your family will make. Before committing to such a large investment, it's important to do your research and ask some serious questions so you can avoid making the following mistakes:

1. Choosing an Unqualified or Unlicensed Contractor

Fan Holmes

The Top 10 Mistakes Homeowners Make When Buying a Furnace or Air Conditioner

Picking the right contractor could be the most important part of the furnace or air conditioner buying process - yet most people don't ask enough questions to make sure the contractor is properly qualified and experienced for the installation. Always ask if they are members of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and the Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada (HRAI).

The Top 10 Mistakes Homeowners Make When Buying a Furnace or Air Conditioner

No URL

Membership in HRAI, which represents over 1,000 contractors nationwide, shows that the contractor is qualified and reputable, as they must have the following credentials:

* All required trade licenses and provincial certifications

* Liability insurance up to ,000,000

* Technical Safety and Standards (TSSA) registration

* Compliance with Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB)

* Compliance with Dispute Resolution Process

* Compliance with Ontario Environmental Regulations

BBB members are part of a nationwide organization dedicated to upholding the highest level of integrity and ethics in customer service, communications, advertising and dispute resolution.

2. Getting Only One Estimate

When you're shopping for a new gas furnace or central air conditioner, you should always get more than one estimate. Ensure that each estimate is written on a proper form and always take the time to review and compare the quality of the equipment and warranties offered. Does the estimate include the removal of old equipment and materials? Are permits included in the estimate?

Be sure to pay attention to the Sales Consultant to see how knowledgeable and professional they are. How long have they been in the business? Did they explain all of the rebates that are available for your system? Your experience with the Sales Consultant could be a good indicator as to what type of service to expect from that contractor later on.

3. Always Going for the Lowest Price

You should always select a contractor that promotes the quality of their installation service and equipment at reasonable rates, rather than just picking the one that offers the lowest price. The lowest price does not necessarily mean the best value. For example, the less expensive contractor might not offer valuable services such as 24-hour emergency response or maintenance and service agreements after the installation.

4. Thinking Price is the Only Factor

The purchase price should not be the only important factor in your decision. The noise level of your new system is something you will have to live with everyday, while the energy efficiency of the system will determine how much your heating or cooling costs will be (energy efficiency is determined by the SEER ratings - be sure the Sales Consultant fully explains what these numbers mean). Choosing the right product for your lifestyle will allow you to live comfortably and save money.

5. Ignoring the Fine Print in the Warranty

It is important to fully understand the warranty that is being provided by each contractor. You should always inquire if the warranty covers parts only or both parts and labour. Also ask if there any extra charges above and beyond the warranty coverage, such as an after-hours service labour charge. Always ensure that the contractor provides you with a written warranty form for your records.

6. Forgetting to Ask About Insurance and WSIB Coverage

The contractor you deal with should always have public liability and property damage insurance. If sub-contractors are utilized, the contractor should also have the proper liability insurance. If the contractor isn't insured, you could be held fully responsible for any damages to the equipment or your home during the installation process as well as any medical costs if an installer is hurt on the job.

Always make sure the contractor is in good standing with the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board. For large jobs, you may want to request a copy of their latest WSIB certificate.

7. Making Too Big of a Deposit

Holmes Heating Inc. does not request a deposit, unless the equipment is unique and subject to re-stocking charges in the event of an order cancellation. If a deposit is required, it should never be more than 20% of the total job and all payments should be made directly to the company named in the contract.

8. Not Asking for References

Reputable contractors will be more than willing to provide you with the names and addresses of customers they have done work for. Ask neighbours, family, friends and co-workers their opinion of any contractor they've used in the past.

9. Believing Your System Will Never Break Down

In case something goes wrong with your system, it's always a good idea to make sure that the company you choose has after-sales service capability. Inquire if they have a full service department and ask how many service vehicles they have on the road. Do they respond to calls after 11 p.m. or on weekends? How quickly can they be there if you have no heat? Holmes Heating Inc. guarantees a 4-hour emergency no-heat response time to keep you warm in case your furnace quits in the middle of winter.

10. Lack of Proper Training or Instruction

Most contractors have a habit of installing the furnace or air conditioner and then leaving without explaining how to properly operate or maintain the system. This leaves you, the homeowner, with the task of trying to figure out exactly how to reset electronic thermostats and replace furnace filters (which can become quite costly if not done properly). Holmes Heating Inc. provides all of its customers with a free training DVD, which outlines these procedures, step-by-step, in a friendly and courteous manner.

This is one of the best small heaters you can buy IMO.. I have owned one of these myself for 2 years and bought this current one on amazon for my girl friend so she can bring her living room up to temp a little better then the regular house heat does. These heaters are easy to use, there pretty quiet and I have never had any over heating issues etc.. I live in an older house and since heating the house is expensive I tend to only run this in my room when I'm home or have the day off.. I can turn this heater on when the rooms 48-55 degrees on average and watch the temp climb to 70-75 degrees within 20min.. it has no problem fighting the cold and will even start to heat up the cold hallway if I leave the door open by accident it's a pretty powerhouse unit for it's size if you ask me. The digital thermostat on it is pretty damn accurate.. i have a digital thermometer clock thingy in my room that sits around 6 feet away from the heater and it is always within 1 degree of the heater's set temp. If you got a small room, a small living room, bathroom, buy one of these you won't be sorry.
