1.0 out of 5 stars Poor translating and copy editing., May 21, 2008

By	Virtus "The Lionheart" (Albany, NY USA) - See all my reviews

The translation is clumsy and needs improvement. Copy editing is sloppy. Numerous typos, misspellings, punctuation, and format errors. Serves as a cheap option, but would not recommend it for anyone seeking a quality copy to add to their collection or library.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT THE BOOK, October 22, 2008

By	Paul A. Orozco - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is just the cliffnotes to the book. This is not the actual book. Also, very poorly published.

1.0 out of 5 stars The content of the book is fine, the publisher on the other hand . . ., February 26, 2008

By	John Doe (New Hampshire) - See all my reviews

This edition was published by Filiquarian Publishers and from a publishing perspective, this book appears to have been designed in a basic Word processing program. Shoddy, shoddy, work. Lacks creative design, weak choice of fonts, inconsistent spacing, erroneous punctuation symbols, etc. Additionally, one of the chapters was out of order. I'm speculating that the publisher didn't know how to read roman numerals and therefore placed the chapter incorrectly, and if they did, and there was a purpose for this, it should have been addressed in the non-existent introduction. The content of the book is fine, just buy an edition by a an established publisher rather than someone working from their basement.
