Proofreading Sherlock Holmes
In an effort to make my "Sherlock Holmes Omnibus" as "definitive" a version as possible, I've started carefully proofreading it against a good printed edition of SH (Leslie Klinger's "New Annotated Sherlock Holmes"). I've got about half way through "A Study in Scarlet" so far, and found and fixed literally dozens of minor errors, ranging from spelling mistakes (mainly in proper names) through to punctuation errors (missing question marks, commas where there should be semi-colons, etc).
Because this is likely to be a long-term project, what I plan to do is release a new version every time I finish proof-reading a book in the omnibus, rather than doing that whole thing at once.
