This book is *not* the complete works of Alfred Tennyson! It is a very poor reproduction of an old book, page for page, except that half of the pages are too dark to be even remotely legible. It is literally a page-by-page scan of an old document. The publisher says on the inside of the book: "This important reprint was made from an old and scarce book. Therefore, it may have deefects such as missing pages, erroneous pagination, blurred pages, missing text, poor pictures, markings, marginalia and other issues beyond our control..." this is putting it mildly. The scans are quite literally unreadable. I find that there is no reason whatsoever to purchase this book and am very disappointed that Amazon posted no description so I was unaware of what I was actually buying.

This particular book was a very poor facsimile of the actual Complete Works of Alfred Tennyson. The quality was so poor, in fact, that the words were completely illegible on most pages. This book was a waste of paper and ink.

Oh that I had read the comments from others before I made this purchase. This book is a horrendous photocopy of an illegible 19th century copy of Tennyson's Works. Less than half of the volume's pages can be read. It is completely worthless and should not be foisted upon the consuming public.
AMAZON ! ! ! Remove this book from your lists!!!
