This review is from: Carmina (Oxford Classical Texts) (Hardcover)

Oxford Classics are always a pleasure to have if you know well your Latin and Greek. If you're a serious student, you will enjoy it because of it's thorough apparatus criticus. If you're just an enthousiast, you will became more so. The text has no translation, but you can buy the translation separately and have a good authoritative text. An apparatus criticus is important for rendering and understanding interpretations. Also, the format is very nice.
