Granted, the Theory of Moral Sentiments embraces Smith's ideas during the Enlightenment, but this SPECIFIC EDITION, (THE YELLOW COVER BY KESSINGER PUBLISHING)is a mere PAMPHLET, A SAMPLE of a complete version of the real Theory of Moral Sentiments. I had a class today, and all the TA's were asking why I got a "children's book"... no seriously it looks like one.

For all of you interested in Smith or looking for the textbook for class, get OTHER editions of this book.

HEED this WARNING. MUST.

CP.

I guess it says so somewhere in the fine print, perhaps even in the medium sized print. But I just wanted a copy of TMS and this one seemed reasonably cheap. So I bought it. It's a pamphlet consisting of the first 'book' or chapter. In other words, sold as TMS it's a hoax - probably about a third to a fifth of the actual book.

And I'm in Australia so I doubt there's any mileage in returning it.

TMS is a great book. This is not.

This is not the complete book. It's only 60 pages, when the full book is 600 pages. Do not buy this edition.

I thought I was buying a complete reprint of this classic work. I was disappointed to learn that only an excerpt was reproduced. I was able to buy a complete addition for only a few dollars more.

Great book but this is an incomplete edition at only 60 pages. The full version is several hundred pages long, varying depending on the edition. There's no indication that this is not the full version in the description, so if buyers aren't careful and read the page total and realize it's too short they could be out of luck. But hopefully the 1-star ratings will scare them off until it's fixed, but I don't know why someone would want this even if they knew what it was.
