Title: Barely adequate
Review: I just wanted hard copy of a text I had already on Kindle, and this barely provided it. It was clearly just the Project Gutenberg transcription poured onto the page with no attempt to match the layout or formatting of the original publication. This is especially noticeable in a section where, in the original, one of the characters lists pros and cons in two parallel columns. There are no columns here, just items 1, 1, 2, 2, and so on interlaced.I wished I had noted the physical size of the book before ordering: this paperback is an odd 8" x 10" size as compared to the standard 5" x 8" trade paperback. It would have been pleasanter to handle and a more satisfactory heft in the smaller size. The cover photo is totally irrelevant to the subject and seems to have been chosen at random.This was about what one might expect from a POD product, but I ended up ordering a used copy of an actual print edition for my permanent library.
Is this product review negative?
