"I'm over 1000 pages in and I'm not even a third of the way through. I'm putting these aside for a bit, they are absolutely wonderful, but I'm beginning to reach my Sherlock limit for the moment."
"Classic tales I loved as soon as I found them, not dated really (and the ones that are, are all the more fascinating for it, for that glimpse of the Victorian era)"
"I found this treasure at the library. While, I will finish before its due date, I will purchase because of its value as a reference. The annotation format is 360 degree enrichment. Lots of great illustrations and social history gems that will make you a Baker Street aficionado. (I was lukewarm about the author until I discovered this volume)
I would love to find an annotation edition for all of the classics."
