Reddit reviews The Original Illustrated Sherlock Holmes

This [original illustrated Sherlock Holmes complete collection] (https://smile.amazon.com/Original-Illustrated-Sherlock-Holmes/dp/0890090572/ref=sr_1_fkmr3_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1468812990&sr=8-2-fkmr3&keywords=entire+sherlock+holmes+collection) is a must have for Sherlock fans. It has the original illustrations from The Strand Magazine, which are sometimes hard to access.

The Original Illustrated Sherlock Holmes has the vast majority of stories (minus novels except Hound, as well as Casebook and His Last Bow). It’s cheap and really nice, with facsimile printing of the Strand pages. https://www.amazon.com/Original-Illustrated-Sherlock-Holmes/dp/0890090572

It’s the only edition I’m aware of to include all the original illustrations, although it is unfortunately incomplete.

I've never read The Hobbit so I'm about to start that.

Next is this complete Sherlock Holmes book I just got on amazon.

The Kushiel Series by Jacqueline Carey is pretty good. BDSM in a fantasy setting with an epic storyline? Yes, please. Though I've only read the first trilogy. There's a second one that deals with a character from the first and their story, but I haven't had a chance to read them.

The Twelve Houses Series by Sharon Shinn is my other go-to fantasy series.

The Parasol Protectorate series by Gail Carriger is an amazing Steampunk-ish series that also deals with the supernatural. No sparkly vampires here, folks!

And finally, as if no one has heard of it, Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling. If you never had a chance to read them as a child, don't skip them now. They're delightful to read, even as an adult. My husband, who used to not really enjoy reading and isn't a fast reader as a result, read them for the first time last year. He burned through them. He's even talking about re-reading them soon. So, seriously, go pick them up!

EDIT: Almost forgot the Sherlock Holmes canon! Always good if you need a collection of stories. May I suggest picking up this version? It's got the original illustrations included. Quite fun.

There's always the limited edition gift set for the new series if she doesn't have it already.

One book I like in particular is The Illustrated Sherlock Holmes, which has the stories that were published in The Strand (including Hound of the Baskervilles) and the Paget illustrations that accompanied those stories.

Here's my PaperbackSwap wish list, but be warned that most of them I only want in hardcover. =)

And my amazon wish list: http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/32A4DY21T44ZF?reveal=unpurchased&filter=all&sort=priority&layout=standard&x=10&y=6

The book I'd be willing to send is this: http://www.amazon.com/Original-Illustrated-Sherlock-Holmes/dp/0890090572

It contains Adventures, Memoirs, Return of, and Hound of the Baskervilles. Aside from a couple of spots on the side of the pages it's basically brand new, never been read.

Or if $10 seems like a better deal than finding something to trade, you could always just buy it there. =)
