LEGO 10351 Sherlock Holmes: Book Nook opens up your bookshelf to LEGO!

The world’s greatest detective (not Batman!), Sherlock Holmes makes his long-awaited debut with 10351 Sherlock Holmes: Book Nook, that introduces a brand new LEGO book nook concept!

The LEGO Book Nook concept is quite an interesting take on introducing literary icons like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes to the world of LEGO, with a build that’s designed to be sandwiched by novels in a bookshelf.

Just like books which open up all expansive new worlds to readers, this LEGO book nook also folds open to reveal building facades of Baker Street, the London home address of Sherlock Holmes!

This 1,359-piece set will retail for US$129.99 / AU$199.99 / £109.99 and will be released on 1 June 2025, where it will be available from LEGO.com or your local LEGO Store.

See below for regional pricing. Pre-orders are also open now online.

One of the set’s biggest drawcards is the minifigure lineup, and fans of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s literary works will be delighted with the 5 minifigures which include Sherlock Holmes, Dr Watson, Irene Adler, Sherlock’s nemesis Professor Moriarty and Baker Street newcomer, Paige.

I’ve read all of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s works (granted many many years ago), but I have zero recollection of there ever being a Paige in the stories. Maybe her name is a funny homonym of Page. Y’know, because this is a LEGO Book… nook.

Anyway! 10351 Sherlock Holmes: Book Nook’s primary feature is that it opens up to reveal a facade of Baker Street, which includes a bookshop with a revolving display, a shadowy and mysterious residence, and of course Sherlock Holmes’ 221b apartment, which amazingly has some basic interiors, that include a cosy fireplace, clue board and his beloved violin.

The Book Nook concept is quite clever and I like the hybrid way to display it, whether as a diorama of Baker Street when open, or folded into a Book Nook where it’ll go nicely against your novels, preferably from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Very excited for this concept, and if the icon on the box is any indication, I hope that this is a start of many more book nooks, and Literature-inspired designs!

10351 Sherlock Holmes: Book Nook will be released on 1 June 2025 from LEGO.com or your local LEGO Store.

What do you think of the LEGO Sherlock Holmes Book Nook concept?

  1. Renela says:

    This is both delightful and confusing.
    Anything Sherlock and I am intrigued. So confused why Irene Adler is not white, why an insignificant character Paige is included, and WHERE is Mrs. Hudson???

  2. John says:

    According to the Lego website, accessed through the link, the posted US price is $129.99

  3. Angela says:

    Paige Cowan is a character in the Elementary TV series. She works in the book shop, so it makes sense that she is included here.

  4. Andrew G says:

    I would not be surprised to see Mrs Hudson or at least a Victorian Lady who can be used as Mrs Hudson in either CMF 28 or 29. There is usually a character or two in BAM or CMF that is directly applicable to a current Lego set.
    Sherlock Holmes occasionally uses street urchins to gather information so maybe this is the idea behind Paige (page boy?).

    • Susie says:

      I agree! Mrs. Hudson should be included! I also made the same connection you did with the boy. He called them, “The Baker Street Irregulars”. I thought the boy was meant to represent Wiggins, the leader of the group the Holmes always gives instructions to.

  5. Katherine says:

    Love this! I already use my modular buildings as book ends, so this will fit in well.

  6. Andrew H says:

    Classically, the collections were published in two volumes which were the Adventures and the Memoirs. Where the more popular stories were the Adventures and the less popular stories were the Memoirs, preface to say the second set were of a classified or sensitive nature. So the nook could go between the two volumes! I do believe Barnes and Nobles has only the one volume, which contains both sets. Of course an Easton Press publication would look much better on your shelf in my opinion.

  7. Jury says:

    yes there are also some brands that make this kind of cardboard works, but question… is it made in a way that it also has a perspective view in the pieces inside or is it just the photo.

  8. Jennifer D says:

    I like that there is a “Paige” in this book!! I’d would have put a minifig in there and called her that if they hadn’t already done it….

  9. Ronald esser says:

    As for me I’ll just leave I mean Adler out of the book, she was not black she was Jewish White so it’s no big deal just put Irene Adler and your sock drawer.

  10. MD says:

    I love the book nook concept! If Barnes & Noble is in collaboration, I’m hoping for other literary icon depictions in the future. Jane Austen please!

  11. Andrea says:

    The links arent connecting. Is it possible we overwhelmed lego already? 😂

  12. James Johnson says:

    The inevitable GWP on launch week will be pretty epic too, I am sure.

  13. William Fredrickson says:

    Other than Barnes and Noble teasing this, presumably to increase the potential sales of a book related set, I see no mention of them in this article.
    Is there any mention of any other involvement in this project? I was thinking this might have been something exclusive to them and maybe LEGO store.

    • Katelynn says:

      As someone who works for BN, I can say that the company announced this morning that this set is exclusive to BN and through Lego directly.

  14. Brick HQ says:

    This set is amazing
    I love that its a book nook
    I hope Lego makes a library in the future
    Decent price
    Not all the characters are accurate though

  15. Buddy Haskill says:

    It looks like LEGO followed the D&D CMF design and didn’t print any flesh tones on the torso or leg pieces, so if you find yourself triggered by the color of these toys, you can swap the head and hands out! I’ll probably go with classic yellow

    • Håkan says:

      If there isn’t a canonical visual depiction, I find that a commendable choice.

      I don’t think Paige is meant to represent Paige Cowan, as she is a fairly obscure character, and the minifig looks nothing liker her.

      • Sean says:

        Except there are illustrations of Irene Adler in the very story she debuts in and she is clearly white.

  16. Nuclearxpotato says:

    Curious as to what the interior above the bookshop looks like, it isn’t detailed in any promo shots oddly.

  17. BH says:

    Irene Adler is Jewish and Eastern European.
    People in that part of the world are white

  18. K3 says:

    Absolutely stunning set!!

  19. Andy B says:

    Paige – perhaps a Baker Street Irregular? Where is Mrs. Hudson?? Love it!

  20. Mickey says:

    I am not trying to come across as a bad person – but I am pretty sure Irene Adler was caucasian. Don’t get me wrong, I am a huge believer and supporter for all DEI efforts – but I am not so sure when it so significantly and blatantly rewrites the whole storyline.

    • Jay Ong says:

      From memory, I don’t think her ethnicity is ever mentioned in the books. She is born in America, so I’m guessing the team took creative liberties with that.

      She’s also a mutant in the X-Men, so it’s not like other writers and creatives have never been… loose with her identity.

      • Sean says:

        There are illustrations of her in her only story appearance. She is clearly white, not black.

    • David Kessel says:

      The designers can take some liberties with the images. Who knows . . . the next attempt might depict Sherlock as a computer.

      • Andrew H says:

        Ooh, and Alan Turing tribute would be delightful. Plus they were both portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch!

    • Tim says:

      Agreed.
