The problem with pastiche of something of that is the best ever example of its kind is that it will always disappoint. In the sense that it won't live up to the original at its best. That is certainly what I have found with Sherlock Holmes pastiche in general, having read several anthologies of such.
So making a reprint anthology and drawing from the huge number overall is probably a better strategy - and also give it an angle so that there is some of more general interest than 'how good a copy is this?' In this case, a fantasy or sf slant to the tales, a lot of the time.
A 3.38 average overall, so a decent book.
