Collected Works Of Kahlil Gibran (Deluxe Hardbound Edition): Deluxe Edition

Since others have complained about this book I thought I'd give my account of how it arrived for me. It came this morning and there was no bent bits on the outside and I discovered that the pages were stuck together by the gold on the edges not by water damage, so to make reading easier in future I went through every page and separated them without any problems. The book was in a plastic seal so if it had touched water it wouldn't have been damaged and I think that may be why the pages got stuck together because the plastic was tight around the book.Anyway the book looks delightful a beauty to put in my bookcase and I can't wait to start reading.

Havnt started it yet but It looks absoulutely fascinating , i read some quotes on pinterest that piqued my interest . And the quality of the book binding is beautiful , cant believe it so inexpensive.

High quality and lovely aesthetically - very pleased and would highly recommend.

Not to be missed if you like The Prophet in particular.

The first read through, almost all of the pages were stuck together at the corners and proved difficult at times to separate. There are also a lot of obvious grammatical / translation errors once you get into the more obscure works (I noticed none in the Prophet or in Sand & Foam, but they are plentiful in subsequent sections). Still a great collection of the works and a beautiful physical book.

The book is beautiful but was despatched by Amazon in a paper envelope which resulted in the corners being bashed and damaged. It was intended as a present but is not fit to give as a gift.

Lovely book, just a shame some of the gold tipped pages are damaged, looks like it might have gotten wet at some point. However books are about it's content and that is stunning obviously.

Did not like the quality of copy. Do not like that the hard end boards are bent in at the corners and the spine has been squashed in at the top from being strapped to other books. Pages not free of each other poorly cut. At £27.11 I expected a good quality printing. Now if going to return it's costing as much again with no certainty of refund. I don't like that at all and will be more careful when I order to check where item despatched from. I buy everything from Amazon as I am housebound but now will be less likely to order foreign imports as the postage is high and the quality lacking.
