Book Reviews of 18 Best Stories by Edgar Allan Poe
Book Review: Great writing; cheap facsimile edition
Summary: 4 Stars
Poe's writing has stood the test of time. This edition, however, literally looks like a photocopy of an older, overinked edition. The type is small with a small x-height (relationship of lower case letter to capital letters), which is difficult to read, looks dirty and cluttered, and is indicative of a publisher going CHA-CHING and cashing in on a reproduction of someone else's work -- honestly, in this day and age, would it have taken so much to re-set this book? Make it a bit easier to read?!
The stories are excellent. This is a cheaply-printed edition, however, dated and difficult to read.
