My copy of Vols 1 and 2 of The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes has just turned up and what it lacks in portability it makes up for in beauty.

That is beautiful *wibbles with you*

Unfortunately my Complete Works is none so pretty. It's a Gutenberg version on Stanza on my iPhone. However, what it lacks in pretty, it makes up for in portability. I always have Watson and Holmes in my pocket. That makes me happy.

I am so going back to the bookstore I went to in Euston that had an A5-sized Complete Sherlock Holmes complete with beautiful lithographic illustrations and making it my own ♥

Mmmmmm - bookporn!

I think I am possibly more jealous of you having this than that you also have the DVD! Roll on my birthday...

I am so happy to have it - its got so... many... footnotes!

[et_cetera55]

Definitely book porn then!

...oh, that is just stunning. I'm sitting here thinking, yes, no matter what the incarnation, that is true. As distanced as I am from the original canon, I can't help but be moved by it.

Lovely isn't it? I think that's what I love about Mofattiss's Sherlock - their evident /love/ for SH and JW (and Lestrade and Mycroft and Mrs H...)

(Y) John Le Carre is a very astute man

I sometimes just gaze at it - occasionally caressing the pages.

I only have the first two vols - do you have the third as well?
