A dispatch box bearing the name John H. Watson, M.D. was kept in the vaults of the bank Cox & Co., Charing Cross, London. This famous and fictional box kept the records of all of the cases in which Dr. Watson participated with Sherlock Holmes, and was believed lost during the Blitz of 1940.

It is now found to have survived, and the records of Holmes' first case with Watson is collected and set forth here, as a series of notes and examples by Holmes in the science of detection, and as personal reminiscences by Watson on the methods and personality of the greatest character in modern English. ]]> <![CDATA[Patricia added 'The Lord of the Rings']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8376173 to: The Lord of the Rings (Collector's Edition) by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Lord of the Rings is often referred to as a trilogy; this is inaccurate. It is a single novel written in six parts, and this edition, gorgeous in its printing and binding, reflects that format. It also includes corrections to the text, largely typos, that were submitted by Tolkien from the first edition that appeared in Britain in the 1950s. His son Christopher Tolkien completed these corrections through the 1970s, and this text is the one most faithful to the great storyteller's intent. Also includes a corrected map of Middle Earth by Tolkien & son, the Forward to the Second Edition by the author, and Appendices that contain annals, chronology, the Hobbits' family trees, the runes, languages and translations used in this amazing and essential part of the English heritage. Fully indexed. ]]> <![CDATA[Patricia added 'Merchant of Venice']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8376170 to: Merchant of Venice (Arden Shakespeare) by William Shakespeare
