A trial indeed

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 16, 2014

The good humour and pleasure one gets from reading Addion and Steele is thoroughly destroyed when faced with poor editing, unlinked footnotes and the absence of tabe of contents. This edition is suitable for only those ready to read a book with close to 30,000 locations while braving the above odds.

a trial to read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 15, 2010

I had been wanting to get a book of Addison's essays ever since reading Samuel Johnson's famous advice about improving one's prose: "Whoever wishes to attain an English style, familiar but not coarse, elegant but not ostentatious, must give his days and nights to the volumes of Addison."

They're devilishly hard to find, however. I thought my train had come in when I saw this cheap Kindle book on Amazon, but it's a disaster. There are usually two or three blank lines between each paragraph, and the text doesn't justify fully on the left: believe it or not, the text alternates between lines that do, and lines that only reach halfway across the screen. It's very disorienting, like you're reading a poem or something.

And this is not to mention the many scanning mistakes that have not been corrected. Sheesh. Why doesn't Amazon hire a couple of unremarkable English majors to make sure everything's formatted correctly before releasing it on the Kindle?

Needless to say, there's no "linked" table of contents (or ANY table of contents), for that matter, so I hope you don't mind reading from page one!

Formatting issues have been corrected

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 22, 2013

Just like many other people, I would imagine, I was put off by the warning about the formatting of the Kindle edition of this book. However, that review was written in 2010, and because the book is free I downloaded it today anyway. Obviously I haven't read it all, but I have looked at several locations and the formatting issues seem to have been dealt with, which I thought was information worth making generally available. So that's good to know.

Now if I can only bring myself to get started. Page One. 2,500 or something like that to go. Yes, there still is no table of contents! Amazon is telling me I have to rate it even though I haven't read it, so I'll give it 3 because of the table of contents problem. But you should get it anyway.

Ich habe gestern das Buch gekauft und bezahlt, aber statt "The Spectator, Volumes 1,2,and 3" habe ich ausführliche Information zu den Gutenberg-sites bekommen. Nach einer halben Stunde Suchaktion bei der Amazon.de-Site, um das zu reklamieren, habe ich aufgeben müssen -- eine Beschwerde-oder Ansprechmöglichkeit ist nicht für die E-Bücher aufzufinden. So habe ich für mich unnütze Information teuer bezahlt, und das Bezahlte nicht bekommen.

An interesting read

Read this book for part of a course I was part of. Found it worth reading in that context. It shows that despite the passing of years etc people watching is always in vogue no matter the era it occurs in. Coffee houses rule in all ages.
