Nice find. Is it formatted better than Harry's version?

I actually discovered this today myself and downloaded it.

Then I came over here and downloaded Harry's "Omnibus" version. Harry's is much better--- has table of contents links and seems to be formatted better.... Not to mention being the complete works.

Much worse. italics are in ALL CAPS. Em dashes — are double-hyphens --, and it has straight quotes, while Harry's has curly quotes. And that's just the obvious defects. I suspect there'll be plenty more.

My guess would be that it's a quick reformat of a Gutenberg text, but I'm not going to spend the time doing a comparison there.

In my opinion (and I am unanimous in that! ), nothing is formatted better than Harry's work.

OT: Harry's in the process of updating his current "backlist" of titles he's assembled, making them even better than they already look.

I have the honor of converting Harry's works to ePub. I have uploaded the illustrated version of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's birthday and the Sherlock Holmes omnibus, too. Challenger will follow soon. Oh, and of course the good Dr. is absolutely right. Harry's work is the Best.
