Excellent book; terrible quality edition that isn't at all as described. The cover is such a terrible quality copy it's clearly pixellated (attaching photo). The formatting inside is awful - hard to distinguish where new paragraphs start, spacing is all over the place.
The editorial reviews quoted on the product listing refer to "easily accessible, bottom-of-the-page notes provide outstanding illumination of the text s literary and historical contexts, particularly biblical and nautical references that might otherwise elude modern readers. No other edition provides a better insight into the (sometimes murky) compositional processes behind this classic work of fiction." -- this is completely untrue, there are no notes at all. Another editorial review states "Sutherland finishes the edition with a series of puzzles and conundrums raised by the story; these are bound to stimulate discussion in a seminar setting." Also completely untrue, there is no appendix at all, the book simply finishes at the end of the story.
I could produce a better quality edition of this book by self-publishing. Will be returning this book ASAP. Buy a different edition.
