I purchased this book for my husband for a gift. He likes Charles Dickens stories so I thought this would be great for him. He loves the book and has been reading ever since I gave it to him. Very sturdy hard cover book. We will keep this one in the family for years. There is a lot of reading, five stories in all.

Barnes and Noble has a new leather bound edition of this book. Much nicer and only $20. I dont know why people think they can get over a $100 for this version. Its much cheaper looking, its not as if the book is out of print. So please do not buy here. Go to barnes and noble and buy the new nicer version. Took two stars away due to the unfair price as well as this version isnt near as nice as the new one.

This is quite an accurate and huge book. Its not like reading the original, but its still awesome. It has all the details simplified slightly but does not cut it short or take details away. I am re reading some of the stories I read as a 14 or 16 year old; tell you what - even though I thought it would be boring to reading the same story from a different book again; it is still interesting, or in some cases even better. If you want to re read some of the classics or just some works by Charles Dickens, then buy this book, you will be satisfied if not very happy or blissfully content.
