" ... However, the print is VERY small and the pages are formatted poorly. ... It's almost like a regular book was saved into a PDF file, then the text printed on successive pages. ... "
" ... I never send anything back but I was so disappointed in the quality of the pictures and tiny print that I couldn't wait to get it shipped back. ... "
" ... This ISBN (1523855789) is a very cheap quality print and is something I'm seeing more commonly now with stories in the public domain--particularly soft covers. ... The cover is a poor quality image and the printing is crooked. ... The quality of paper is ok, the text printing is ok, BUT the margins don't give enough room to read all words in each row. ... "
" ... The pages of this book look like they were printed directly from a web page, complete with blurry low-res jpegs and, get this, MISSING images! ... "
" ... We were so disappointed in the size of the printed words. ... "
" ... The print is tiny, and the illustrations are very bad and pixelated. ... "
" ... Obviously the stories are grea but I immediately put this edition in my recycling bin because it's unreadable with tiny print, blurry terrible pictures, bizarre blank pages everywhere and incoherent formatting. ... "

" ... This is the second audio book I have that is read by Simon Prebble. ... There are many stories included and he sounds just like Basil Rathbone who has always been my favorite Holmes. ... He can sound like so many different characters. ... "
" ... It is great to hear the stories in Doyle's own words. ... "
" ... It took two volumes and nearly 1,800 to hold ALL of Arthur Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes" stories and the four novels -- they had to print it in two volumes but here it is, and at a very good price. ... "
" ... And if you listen to the Audible version you have the extreme pleasure of hearing Stephen Fry. ... "
