This review is from: The Time Machine (Hardcover)

The Time Machine has been my favorite book for many years. I have read it 7 times and I know I will read it many more. Therefore, this review is not about the story, but the edition of the book itself. It's very difficult to find a hardcover version of such a small book. The binding on this edition is great and doesn't feel cheap. The paper quality is good for the price. Overall, I would have given it 5 stars if not for one gripe: They included illustrations. I was most disappointed to see pictures which did not match up to my grandiose visualizations of the book's many amazing locations. The cartoony representation of the Eloi was my least favorite part. They looked more like the dwarves from Snow White than the graceful, diminutive people which they were described as. If you can get past the visual setbacks, this would be a nice edition to have on hand for those "I'm really in the mood to re-read it" times.
