Review: It's (great) Sherlock! - POSITIVE: - standard Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories that millions of readers read, critiqued, and (mostly) loved for well over 100 years - retro-inspired full-set - original cover illustrations The Return of Sherlock Holmes contains these stories: - The Empty House - The Norwood Builder - The Dancing Men - The Solitary Cyclist - The Priory School - Black Peter - Charles Augustus Milverton - The Six Napoleons - The Three Students - The Golden Pince-Nez - The Missing Three-Quarter - The Abbey Grange - The Second Stain NEUTRAL: - This is a nice Baker Street Classics hardcover edition. The book dimensions are suitable for travel or couch, etc. According to the publisher the book height is slightly under 8", but my measurement says it is about 8.1" to 8.2" (it may be important to the people who like additional book covers - 8" cover is definitively too small). This nice edition is also accompanied with a (built-in) bookmarking ribbon. - Possibly confusing for some readers: You'll notice right away that quotes in British English are simply reverse of American English usage--instead of starting with double quotes and possibly with a continuation with single (nested) quote, the book employs single quotes followed by nested (double) quotes as in British English usage. It's hard to get confused by it, but occasionally the nested quotations can become confusing when multiple layers are involved. (NOTE!) The entire Sherlock Holmes (Baker Street Classics) set comes in 9 books: - A Study in Scarlet - The Sign of Four - The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes - The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes - The Hound of the Baskervilles - The Return of Sherlock Holmes - The Valley of Fear - The Last Bow - The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes NEGATIVE: None. OVERALL: 5/5. It's Sherlock Holmes! Highly entertaining mysteries. Review: Not sure how the book passed the quality checks... - Book arrived in quite a bad state. Pages were sticking to each other due to unknown substance in between. Back of the was partly stained by some sort of black adhesive. Sent it back for a refund and ordering a new one, hopefully without issues this time. Edit on 14th of May: New book arrived. Part of the packaging was glued solid to the cover, assuming because of the same adhesive. Can't add another video, so I added pictures of the second book. On delivery the package was already torn open, but that might be the carriers fault. Not ordering from here again, and would not recommend it either.
