The Iliad & the Odyssey (Deluxe Hardbound Edition)

The book looks great! Excited to read it!

Fantastic book, great read for anybody. As far as the product goes, fantastic quality, feels good in the hands. Pages feel thick and good when flipping at them. Solid product, well worth the money.

Really good! When I first saw it I thought it was two separate books yet when I got it it was one. The paper is very thin but also easy to flip through the pages. It's astericly pleasing to my room as well. Over all really good!

Beautiful book, thick, well made. Has clear and dark print on pages. Gold edge on pages.Very satisfied with this purchase. I will recommend this book to friends and family.

Great historical library addition

Translation is great as is legibility of the typesetting. Presentation of the book inspiring and suitable to the content. Can be a 5-star book with an iteration on book design to improve durability. Specifically the fine gold design work on the cover gets banged up over the course of a single read. In a controlled environment never leaving the house the front cover looks similarly to other photos imaged in other reviews. If for example you travel on airplanes where books bounce around in luggage, or are reading for a class environment, you will want a different paper backed copy that doesn't matter if it gets banged up. For this reason I'm not sure where to place the purpose of this hard back book. For beautiful design that looks nice on a shelf, it should be durable enough to last decades and potentially held onto by children when you pass. The gold leaf of this copy flakes off after one read. Not sure what to do with that. Iterating design to use a more durable golf leaf or finding a protective layer of some sort would resolve these issues. Perhaps there is an after-market process you get apply after purchase to add some protective layer to the exterior.

Very happy with this

I love it!
