5.0 out of 5 stars The novel is good; the typography of this edition isn't, January 4, 2009
By 
praesagitio (Pacific Northwest) - See all my reviews
The Cliff-Dwellers is a classic, but you may want to think twice about this edition. For some reason best known to the book's designer, all the paragraphs begin with flush-right instead of indented left paragraphs. It's very distracting, and, combined with the Ariel sans serif typeface, makes the book more of a chore to read.

I bought this edition but actually have had to switch to the Google Books version because the design choices are so annoying.

That said, the book is a fine picture of turn-of-the-century urban Chicago life (the "cliffs" are the skyscrapers in which Chicago residents live).
