Important #1
: I do not take credit for this idea, as it originally belongs to
Савва Р.
and was first suggested here. This request is in English with a couple of pictures for your viewing pleasure - hopefully it can get some support.
Important #2
: I am suggesting this as a global set, since the book is a true classic loved all around the world. However, if someone feels that this should be a UK-only set, feel free to drop a comment.
