Negative Positive
Title: Terrible reproduction of a classic text
Review: Whoever "General Books" is, this company has done an absolutely horrendous job reproducing the text of Thomas Hodgkin's classic work on Theodoric the Ostrogoth. Most inexcusable is an apparent total lack of proofreading. There are every kind of typographical error imaginable present in this book - and most are repeated over and over again, as if whatever format was used did not translate properly when printing occurred. In some cases the errors are of such a nature as to make reading the text impossible. Sometimes one cannot even tell from the context what was intended.I am not only leaving a strong negative review here, but am also complaining to Amazon.com about the poor quality of this print job. Amazon should not be carrying books with text this atrocious.If you want to read Hodgkin, find his original work through your interlibrary loan service.DON'T BUY THIS BOOK!
