🧾 Quality & Format
-
Paperback edition, no illustrations inside (aside from cover design).
-
The font is quite small, which some readers dislike; it's often described as “tiny” and straining for reading without proper lighting or magnification
-
Paper quality is described as thin and yellow-tinged, with occasional issues in binding or packaging. As one user put it: “you have to be Sherlock with a magnifying glass to read it.”
-
Many buyers consider it value for money, though with compromises in print and binding quality due to low cost.
✅ Final Thoughts
If you're seeking a complete Sherlock Holmes collection at a budget‑friendly price, this Maple Press edition delivers all canonical works in a portable set. But be aware of the trade-offs: compact size, tiny typeface, plain formatting, and basic production quality.
If reading comfort, typography, or visual appeal matters, you may prefer editions from Headline Publishing, Barnes & Noble Leather-bound, or annotated illustrated versions (especially those with Sidney Paget's original illustrations).
