I feel I have to voice my opposition to people taking the entire output of an author as their 'anthology' choice. I would be fine with the complete Sherlock Holmes, or the complete short-stories of AC Doyle, but to take the entire output seems... unfair.

Take, for example Rudyard Kipling. I think The Jungle Book, a collection of both interconnected and unrelated short stories, would be an entirely acceptable selection, likewise Just So Stories. The Complete Rudyard Kipling, however, I don't think should be allowed.

However, if there is an actual published collection that contains the complete works of AC Doyle, I'd be okay with that.

edit: That's perfect, MMM.
