More About the Author
There are few people as quoted and quotable as Ralph Waldo Emerson, founder of the transcendental movement and author of classic essays as Self-Reliance, Nature, and The American Scholar. Emerson began his career as a Unitarian minister and later put those oratory skills to move us toward a better society. More remains written on him than by him.

I do NOT recommend buying the Kessinger edition....,

This review is from: Essential Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson (Paperback)
I'm a long-time buyer of Amazon's products, but lately I am seeing that they may have a quality control problem! The book "Essential Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson", published by Kessinger (ISBN: 1425341438) does not deserve more than one star, although there are other Emerson compilations (including the Modern Library Classics version with the same title) that are undoubtedly fine.
Amazon seems to have a strange methodology/algorithm for placing some of its books first in "relevance", and I am a little suspicious as to what criteria they are using. Furthermore, you may have noticed that the specific reviews of books now are often reviews of a different printing/edition than the one listed along with said reviews. At any rate, the Kessinger "booklet" is a thin,cheaply made, 60 page paperback that includes short excerpts of a few of Emerson's writings, and is hardly more than a xerox-type copy, sandwiched within a glossy cover.... Not only that, but the Modern Library Classics' version costs less than the inferior Kessinger printing...

This book is incorrectly titled.,
This review is from: Essential Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson (Paperback)
This book contains an article from "The American Bible: Elbert Hubbard's Selected Writings Part 12". It is in no way a useful collection of Emerson's writings, and is completely useless to me.
If want a large collection of Emerson's writings, get the Modern Library Classics version of Emerson's Essential writings. The ISBN is 9780679783220.

this was a let-down, as the cover and the book did not match, and so I never had the book I needed for class.
