Complete Stories of Sherlock Holmes (Wordsworth Library Collection) (Hardcover)

Customer Review

Because so many different reviews are present:
I bought the hardcover edition of "The Complete Sherlock Holmes" as Wordsworth Library Collection.
the book is about B5 size and consists of a sturdy cover, which is covered with red linen fabric. the font, and the pattern on the left side sin imprinted with gold, no relief. the image is a very thin label.
The pages are as thin as Bible pages, in fact, so it may wrinkle easily when it pops up, as if it had gotten wet. since the book but also as already 6.5cm thick, you can probably do not require thicker sides.
the font size is rather small in the direction, but is still legible.
For a price of 14 but this is in my view perfectly acceptable design of the book.
Now to the content:
The book contains all 4 novels and 56 short stories, all, but not directly in the order of publication, but only the 4 Novel and then (in order of appearance) all Short Story Collections.
The book name and the names of Chapter standing on each side at the top over it left or right.
the most important point which has moved me especially to buy this issue is the fact that the original illustrations are included from the beach Magazine.
whether they are complete, I can not judge.
the image quality is mediocre to pixilated what it is probably that you have been edited into the text and the original magazine is 100 years old.
most of the pictures have the size of a quarter page or less. I do not know what you were in the original, here you are in b / w.
To Sherlock Holmes himself, which are very scarce formulated partly already grasped the conclusions almost out of thin air, because you only see Watson's position Stories. Pictorial descriptions are rather sparse, if you do not happen in dialogues, making Sherlock conclusions impossible to fathom, up to the quite thorough explanations Sherlock himself.
But the cases are interesting because it is (only) is killing many not, and often there are murders of affect an affair, as is often the case in today's detective stories.
Amusing is all especially when the TV series Sherlock (BBC 2010) knows because many dialogues and statements were taken literally, even if much else is quite different.
