This volume contains "A Study in Scarlet" through "The Hound of the Baskervilles." I actually preferred the shorter stories in between (except for "The Final Problem"); the longer ones just seemed to drag. It took me two weeks, TWO WEEKS to read "The Hound of the Baskervilles," which is only 120 pages long.
On the whole, though, I have enjoyed the stories. I can imagine how much work it must have been to come up with so many different scenarios and solutions, and why Doyle hoped to escape it by killing off Sherlock. I'm curious to see if the stories in the second volume are of the same quality. And I'm looking forward to the movie despite whatever inaccuracies there are sure to be.
