i don't recommend this to anyone, it sure may look good online but when you receive it in person it may be a bit of a shock. The entire book and slip case is covered in these little marks which are akin to as if someone has grabbed a pen and drawn little lines everywhere. Not to mention the fact that this book has paper binding too, i was highly disappointed when I received mine.
What do you expect for $150? You're not going to get a leather binding for that price. And surely the little pen marks resemble sparks from the fires of Hell? Even if they don't, that wasn't a dealbreaker for me.
Very disappointing - it's written in modern British laddish vernacular, so we get words like dossing and arse. We also get at least one f word (seem to recall Dante was said to be vulgar in the original text). I was hoping for a somewhat more literary and dignified/classy translation while still being readable and able to be comprehended by the average reader. I am definitely an average reader, Dante is above my comprehension level, and even though this seems dumbed down in places, in the whole I am still struggling to understand it.
