Amazing

This is a translation by Samuel Butler. In historical works like this the translation by a well-known and respected individual is very important. The book is very nice and looks expensive. Paper is on the cheaper side but the cover is rich-looking. Better than other hard bound books by the same publisher.

Excellent quality. Exactly as advertised. No signs of damage or deformity. A beaut
