My husband loves Sherlock Holmes books. He has read almost all of them. This absolutely gorgeous copy was an amazing gift for him. By far the coolest copy of an awesome book.

So this review isn't on the book itself but the shipping Amazon seems to do for this. This was the 2nd time I received this book, the first was with the slip cover completely off and ripped. It's thin plastic but its flush to the book so it sorta seems like you have to go out of your way to take this off. Sent a request for a replacement because for me, this is a collectors thing. In the meantime I ordered The Great Gatsby and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz so the replacement shipped with it. I received the 3 today and the other two were with slip cover on it and perfectly fine but for some reason, yet again, the slip cover was off and smashed under all three books. Since it's plastic any dent in it is seen so you can't really smooth this out and slip it back on. It's going to be noticed. If you're a perfectionist with your books and this is going in your collection (lets be honest, if you're buying a version of this book for its looks like this one, you are) then I would tell you to consider buying it from somewhere else. For some reason on this one alone, whoever is packing it keeps taking the slip cover off and just yeeting it into the box with it. I guess I will just have to have this one without a slip cover since I know my lizard brain will be bothered by it looking like this. The book itself is gorgeous enough that it won't be that much of an issue but I'm still annoyed that I can't have its slip cover looking nice like it should be.
