The Prince (Fingerprint Classics)

The only thing worth noting is that the pages are slightly thin, allowing the reader to somewhat see the words on the next page. It doesn’t bother me, and other than that it’s bound well and looks great. More importantly this book is a good read.

Wonderful book, this is a must read

Incredibly good reprint of a classic. Hardcover, marbled end paper, gilt edge, page marker ribbon at a very low price.

Great book would make great gift

Very nice cover and includes a bookmarker, which I like, although the paper used for the pages seem a bit thin and cheap. They feel similar to the quality of a mass market book. It's not horrible, I would've expected a better quality of paper used considering the cover quality. That's really the only unexpected negative I can see. I just wanted to leave this comment because it did come as a bit of a shock to me.

I had been looking for a hardcover book to replace my old copy because while it was functional, it wasn’t particularly good to look at this new book however is very beautifully done. I even has the gold edging which I did not expect. I am very happy.

Best presentation for the prince. I tried to get it at a local bookstore but this was worth the online purchase

good book

Good

Physical Quality of Book - The book is really good, sturdy and has a bookmark which is naturally good. Pages with golden lining gives it a very decent and aesthetic look. Psychological Quality of Book - "IT IS MUCH SAFER TO BE FEARED THAN LOVED" and the book means it. Niccolo Machiavelli and Machiavellianism is not about manipulation, cynicism or evil tactics. It is about understanding how the power works, why good intentions always fail, and ultimately understanding what happens if power and authority is misunderstood and mishandled. This book is not about any fantasy or entertainment, it throws light on some ultimate truth. If you wish to get an idea on power, leadership, negotiation, etc. you should go for it.

Delivered on time , item was as described

Ya, not like the photo. Nice gilded book. If they had put nice thick paper in it, this would be a 5 star book. Yellowed thin paper makes it feel cheap. I don't mind the aged paper look and the outside looks amazing.

Well-written book. Amazingly good.
