Slightly Illogical Collection,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Portable Arthur Miller (Penguin Classics) (Paperback)
I don't have any complaints about this collection- except it doesn't include All My Sons. Which just seems illogical to me.

EVERYTHING,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Portable Arthur Miller (Penguin Classics) (Paperback)
You have two options, buy all his plays for 12.95 and up, or buy this with all his plays. This is the best book of plays I could have picked up.

Good Compendium of Miller's works,
By
This review is from: The Portable Arthur Miller (Penguin Classics) (Paperback)
I wanted to read Death of a Salesman. While searching I found this book which has 5 of Miller's plays (including his famous ones, Death of a Salesman and The Crucible) and a few other little works of his. This is a great bargain, considering that a single play by Miller is about $9.00 and this is $12.00. A pretty good deal, if you ask me!
