Negative Positive
Title: Phoney edition
Review: The publisher does something common but sleazy on the copyright page, claiming copyright for the entire work, which is in the public domain. Secondly, they incorrectly state on the copyright page that the original edition was published by Knopf in 1895(!), not 1920. Third, and this is what really pisses me off, is that they simply reproduced the See Sharp Press edition type, while omitting the footnotes and the introductory publisher's note (the layout matches exactly, and there's even the same typo -- misplaced quotation mark -- in the second line of the first page of the text (p. 21).It's sad when a publisher tries to rip off another publisher, and poorly. This Cosimo edition even cuts out the footnotes in an effort to create a cheapo book.
Is the review positive or negative?
