5.0 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC!, August 31, 2005
By 
J. Putney (Ann Arbor, MI) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bedford Anthology of World Literature Vol. 1: The Ancient World (Paperback)
I also own the older Norton anthologies and thought I would update my library. The Bedford Anthology of World Literature is just terrific! I am so very glad I decided to purchase them! Not just a book of stories and poems but all kinds of background material, maps and time lines too. Well worth your time and money.

4.0 out of 5 stars First Purchase From Amazon, January 11, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bedford Anthology of World Literature Vol. 1: The Ancient World (Paperback)
The book I received is pretty good. It's worn, definitely used, but it will do the job. I would definitely buy more books from the seller I bought this from; they wasted no time in sending it out, and they were realistic about the condition.
