I commend them for printing this on such thin paper while still being easy to read. Since the paper is so thin, these massive tomes are significantly smaller than one would expect and are far easier on the back when taking them to school and back. That said, be careful with placement in a bag. These things like to come open and get smooshed. They bend back okay, but I plan on keeping them, and it's a shame to see them get all beat up. ...which brings me to a point. This isn't just a textbook, this is an authoritative source on the subject that has been around forever. So if you are a literature buff, this is a great addition to the shelf. You get a lot of content, really good commentary and history, and it doesn't take up that much space. Read more
