Title: 1993 Edition Details
Product review: It has been mentioned that only half the "Faerie Queene" is here included. I would like to add that of the 12 months of the "Shepherd's Calendar", only the months January, February, April, October, November & December are included.I would have prefered that the editors throw out some of those 160 pages of critical examinations and include a complete text.The type face is legible, the paper opacity is adequate, and I especially applaud putting the glossary in the margin so I need not turn to the back of the book to make use of it.The "Shepherd's Calendar" is illustrated with one woodcut for each month. They are not the elegant sort we get from say Albrecht Durer, but are are in a primitivism style. I found no other illustrations in the rest of the book.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
