If you (presuming you are of the sex that does such things)—if you had gone into the Drapery Emporium—which is really only magnificent for shop—of Messrs. Antrobus & Co.—a perfectly fictitious "Co. " by the bye—of Putney on the 14th of August 1895 had turned to the right-hand side where the blocks of white linen and piles of blankets rise up to the rail from which the pink and blue prints depend you might have been served by the central figure of this story that is now beginning.

Scanned, but not Proofread or Spell-checked,

This review is from: The Wheels of Chance; A Bicycling Idyll (Paperback)
The Echo Library edition seems to have been scanned, but not proofread or even spell-checked. The book is still enjoyable despite the errors, although the substitution of the letter "I" for all the open-single-quotes was confusing before I'd figured it out, and annoying afterward. I was disappointed that the illustration of the page from Mr. Hoopdriver's notebook was left out. Given the chance to do it over, I'd spend a little more and get a copy from another publisher.
