American essayist, philosopher and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson was a leading figure in the 19th century Transcendentalism movement.

Love Emerson - Do Not Like This Publication,
By Tim (MT) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Essays and Lectures: (Nature: Addresses and Lectures, Essays: First and Second Series, Representative Men, English Traits, and The Conduct of Life) (Paperback)
This review has nothing to do with Emerson's writing. He was a rare genius.
I was exctied to get this book in the mail. Opened it, and was disappointed to find that the text runs all the way to the crease along the binding, making it awkward to read a line without tilting and bending the book. As a result I am sending it back. Just wanted to provide a warning to potential purchasers that the printing of this book is not reader-friendly.
