By popular request JCE has gathered all 15 stories into a single volume. The formatting has been standardized so that there is consistency among all stories, making it easier for educators to make photocopies for students that include only the stories and not the solutions. The volume uses a spiral binding for convenient photocopying.

The 15 stories, while vastly different in content and the chemistry they illustrate, share common threads. A text box at the beginning of each story shares information on the chemical themes of each story. For example, the first story, “Sherlock Holmes and the Yellow Prisms”, provides a problem in organic and inorganic qualitative analysis, while the final story, “Autopsy in Blue”, emphasizes qualitative inorganic analysis, forensic chemistry, and medicinal substances. The story itself then follows the box and ends with a stop sign, asking readers “Can You Solve the Mystery?” A gray text box presents questions that prompt readers to consider the relevant points of the story in their quest for the solution. Sherlock Holmes’s solution begins on a separate page; it may include explanatory calculations, reactions, and diagrams.

The Chemical Adventure stories are popular for their education as well as entertainment value.
