Great book and an awesome value
Love this book! And I love even more that I could get it so inexpensively. There were some crayon marks on the interior pages, but nothing that covered the text. Still, overall a great value.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Classic Romanticism requires a long-term commitment
This book is long and has lots of characters to keep track of, but the payoff for being patient and persistent is worth it. Yes, the book is a couple of hundred years old, but the story of love, vengeance, and noble heroism is satisfying. This version has a wonderful cover and a comfortable heft and feel to it. Buy it and read it!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
