| I agree - Watson was a more than competent sidekick for Holmes. It was only the portrayals of him that started the comic relief angle.
I just bought the Annotated SH Vol. 1 before Christmas, and for Christmas my wife gave me the Nook with all of the SH short-stories and novels already loaded on. I know books can be a tactile thing but for the amount of reading I do I much prefer the Nook, and now I feel badly because I have this hulk of a hardcover laying around undisturbed! |

Im sure someone would be happy to put it to good use, at least for a time, friends or family members perhaps? |

Reading is, sadly, a lost art. The only family member or friend who reads is my grandmother, and she has no interest in Sherlock. I suppose I'll hold on to it until I find someone who is in need of it! |
