Negative Positive
Title: Overpriced. Better versions of this classic work are available
Review: The Summit Class Press edition (Look at the copyright page in "See Inside This Book") contains the complete text of Frazer's own abridged version, but surprisingly this relatively expensive edition doesn't contain an index. I returned my copy to Amazon and found a used Macmillan Publishing version that not only has an index, but which I think is a more attractive volume as well.Though Frazer's abridged version dispenses with scholarly footnotes, an index seems vital for a book that will almost certainly be used as a reference. I can't imagine what Summit Class Press was thinking by issuing a copy of The Golden Bough without an index.
Is the review positive or negative?
