Andrew Lang , Fairy Books Collection II

I ordered both collection 1 and 2.Pro: Contains all of the original 12 books in two volumesCon: Approaching Coffee table book size & it doesn't have a table of contents for each individual story. The table of contents just shows where in the volume the individual book starts.It looks as if someone turned all 12 books into a text file, and then just printed that. No frills were added in this publication version.

It’s the size of a phone book, the print’s only slightly larger, there’s no table of contents, but it seems to be all there and legible.Given the price point, this is a good deal.

I was dissatisfied with these issues because no original pictures were included in the text.

Have enjoyed the stories in this book. I would say, it is a larger book and more of a lap read, or tabletop. Not as portable as a smaller book.

The typesetting on these books is ridiculously bad. There are no illustrations, and the text is small on long lines with tiny margins and tight spacing. It’s almost like they were trying to pack as much text in and spend as little on paper as they could.

These are a straight print out of the story texts, no frills, no pics, no notes, no introduction, which is perfect if you are studying the texts and need a copy you can make notes on. Then you can save up for the Folio Society editions and keep them pristine.

wonderful collection
