Proof-reading "About Sixty"

I am one of a number of people currently proof-reading sections of a new book called About Sixty...

This book, which is being overseen by Christopher Redmond, is a collection of essays by Sherlockian scholars. Each contributor has taken on one of the sixty canonical tales and attempts to prove it to be the best of the Canon.

I am proof-reading what I guess to be between one quarter and one third of the manuscript and I have to declare that I admire the contributors. From my perspective, some of them are attempting the impossible (i.e. I'm sorry but there's no way that story is the best) and some make compelling cases.

I won't say more as that would be dangerously close to a review which would not be fair based on only part of a proof. Let's just say that it's looking good.
