Look Inside the Book?,
By
This review is from: Barrack-Room Ballads (Paperback)
This "book" should become the classic example for avoiding any purchases of material which do not show their actual pages and layouts. It is equivalent to a second grader's attempt to create a book, not a reputible publishing house. The table of contents bleeds directly into the first poem. None of the poems are laid out by line, instead Quill Pen Press has elected to cram the maximum amount of 12 point type into each line in order to minimize the amount of paper required (all 18 sheets worth!). Without a previous familiarity with the poems herein, Kipling's meter and rhythem can only be guessed at. Worse, almost all of the poems, while short, are so compressed by the layout that they span two pages - and Quill Pen has elected to break internal lines of the poems.
Learn from my mistake - avoid this edition (or anything else from Quill Pen Press for that matter) and purchase one that is compently formatted. |
