I purchased this book for a class; the book arrived on time and in the condition I expected based on the description. All pages are intact, although a few were dog-eared and the cover has some scuffing.
This might be an odd thing to note, but do not purchase this particular collection if you’re hoping to read outdoors or carry the book around with you. It is around 3” thick, and the pages are very thin and susceptible to ripping when faced with wind. Otherwise, this is a fantastic collection of Shakespeare’s work, and the footnotes are helpful in clarifying the meaning of archaic language.

"formerly The Riverside Shakespeare"
The first printed page of the book states, "THE WADSWORTH SHAKESPEARE formerly The Riverside Shakespeare". My book came from Amazon. Some of the pages were not cut, so I had to separate them myself, and I'll have to eventually cut them down to the size of the other pages. The book has a slight razor cut across the back. Scratches, cuts, etc. are common with books I order from Amazon. I've sent so many back! The book was placed in a box with no packing material, but that didn't seem to hurt it. It has a glossy cardboard cover like the Riverside Shakespeare, and no dust jacket or ribbon. I would pay more for a better cover, ribbon and binding. The pages are easy to read with a decent size type with two columns per page. Most important for me: notes are at the bottom of each column, and the corresponding number for each note is in the right margin, making it really easy to reference the notes.
