Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I guess the $110 price tag made me assume these would be a finer quality product. The novels themselves are my all-time favorites, but they are more enjoyable in the trade paperback editions or in their previous hardcover format (admittedly more expensive if bought as a set). As mentioned in other reviews, this particular edition suffers from extremely distracting, pervasive editing problems. I honestly believe the computer scanned the works in, and no human ever took a look at it. These are over the top, blatant errors that seem as if they would be caught by any copy editor. In the tradition of another reviewer, here's another cringeworthy editing stumble: from Desolation Island, p. 1829, Mrs. Wogan says "I yearn for fur, a deep, deep bed of fur, and a fur nightgown tool!" Hmm. Additionally, the pages are so thin, you can see the print on the other side of the page. The covers of the books themselves are so flexible; it is almost like reading a paperback. His dedications are not included (I know that's minor, but I'm a big fan!). The physical aspects don't matter anywhere near as much as I resent reading PO'B's words all jumbled together or with commas instead of periods half the time. I like that they're all in one set, but I would rather have paid more to get a nicer edition. Maybe that's their marketing strategy. I hope that they come out with a better edition! This one is destined for eBay.
