Expect an image for every couple of pages or so through out. Many of the images are in color. Many stories/novels also come with notes (which are really essays of good length) with even more images/illustrations (800 illustrations in total and 200 in color, to be specific).

...

This is of course the best and most comprehensive edition of Sherlock Holmes ever.
The text is the most important thing, and the (literally) months I spent proofing my edition uncovered literally thousands of errors in the public-domain texts which all these editions use. If the text is poor, pictures mean nothing.
