2.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps not the best edition, December 26, 2005
By

This review is from: Caesar's War Commentaries (Paperback)
I can't vouch for the translation (this was a gift) but I didn't care for the printing quality of this edition. The margins were huge (1.25" except on the spine) which crowded the text and I found the font to be muddy not as "clean" as I'd hoped. It almost looked like a reproduction of a 1910 edition and a challenge for older eyes. I returned this and purchased the El Paso Norte Press edition which had very legible print and a nicer over all feel.

5.0 out of 5 stars An extremely clear translation, August 26, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Caesar's War Commentaries (Paperback)
This is the famous book by Julius Caesar that begins: "Gaul est divisi in partes tres". This translation into modern English is very accurate and readable, and Caesar comes across as a strong and determined leader that, if you couldn't quite imagine running into at your local starbucks, at least seems very real.
