The Original Text Solar Pons Omnibus Edition is a collection of detective fiction stories by author August Derleth. It was released in 2000 by Mycroft & Moran and was published in two volumes. The set collects all of the Solar Pons stories of August Derleth. The stories are pastiches of the Sherlock Holmes tales of Arthur Conan Doyle. The collection restores the text to its original state, removing the edits made by Basil Copper for the 1982 collection The Solar Pons Omnibus. The stories are also ordered by their date of publication rather than by their internal chronology as was done for the earlier omnibus edition. This edition also drops the Robert Bloch Foreword from the 1982 edition and adds two new introductory essays by Peter Ruber.
