Review: This is a beautiful book. It contains all of the stories, and all of the Poems, so your favorite is here, whether it's "The pit and the pendulum", "The raven", "The gold bug", "Lenore", "The tell-tale heart", The fall of the house of Usher", and on and on.. (73 tales-49 poems).. The introduction is an excellent overview of the life of Poe, and not over-written. A chronology of important moments in Poe's life is at the end of the book as well. So its contents are 5 out of 5. The book itself is extremely well bound. It's thread bound (see photo), and not fully glued, like a lot of "hardback" books which are just mass paperback glued, with hard covers.. The paper is very high quality, smooth and soft white, strong with some see-through, but considering nearly 900 pages, in a book that's very easy to hold, and very readable, it's excellent quality. The covers are embossed with silver highlights, it has a nice ribbon marker, it opens fully flat, with zero obscuring of text close to the spine, the cover opens initially (front and back cover), on a lovely Purple swirl effect initial/final card page. The text is relatively small, but very readable and the typeset is excellent, for context, I am nearing 50, without glasses, but I feel coming close to needing them; and I can read this book in good light fairly comfortably. I, like a lot of you, was looking for a well made, and well stocked, single volume of Poe's works, that included his tales and poems, without feeling anything I wanted was missing; and this volume is perfect. There is no need whatsoever to doubt (again) if this is the right volume, instead of that one, or the other......it definitely is! Review: While I’m very much familiar with Poe’s classic stories and poetry, it’s so nice to have the complete works of his. This includes so many pieces of his works that I have not even heard of, and that I cannot wait to read. No issues with the binding in my copy, or the format of the pages, everything looks and feels perfect! The ribbon to keep your page is an elegant plus as well. Love the cover artwork and also the fact that this book is a hardcover! I can’t wait to dive in to this!
