3.0 out of 5 stars Decent content, poorly formatted, August 31, 2000

This review is from: Bookshop Classics (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

This product contains a wide variety of public domain literature, organized by author or type. But it comes across as rather cheaply made (odd capitalizations, word breaks)--it looks like someone cut and pasted the data from somewhere else, and didn't bother to reformat it afterwards. It's fine for the price, but I'd hardly call it a polished product.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real bargain for $4.99!, May 5, 2001

1000 books available for reading and research. Easy to store; gives author dates; classic works; all the books you don't have but need to reference in school or literate research. Auto load; also own their Encyclopedia. Just as good.

3.0 out of 5 stars The stated info differs from the CD info, October 16, 2008

By 

Lillian Hawkins (Brentwood, TN, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bookshop Classics (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

The information on the CD jacket differs from the information in the Amazon description. The Amazon description states that this product can be used by Macintosh computers and it can not. The cover does not state that this is availabe for any Macintosh platforms only a Windows platform. This causes confusion for Macintosh users.
