Pre-ordered the book back in February and it finally arrived yesterday. They had some manufacturing problems and paused production for a while until they figured everything out which was a large part of the delay. This is the "fixed" version of the book and it looks magnificent :) Look and feel is really nice, the illustrations and 2 tone printing are fantastic, and overall a very nice version of one of my favorite books! I did kind of a longer video for anyone interested looking over the book in more detail and comparing it to a Folio Society and Easton Press book, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYGkIb5r3Ok.

My only real negative of the book is in his it was packed and shipped. They placed the book in a box a good bit larger than the book itself with zero packing material so the book was able to bounce around within the box. Luckily my book arrived undamaged but I'm sure others will not be so lucky. Seems kind of lazy for a somewhat expensive book.

After collecting and reading many books I finally decided to choose certain genres which actually suits me and puts my mind in peace. GOTH FICTION AND FANTASY ABOVE ALL.

I dont know very much about these books other than their content.

I’m planning to start reading and collecting classics, and I’d love to build a good-quality hardcover collection. Which publisher/series would you recommend, especially considering translation quality, editions, cover design, and overall collectability?

I’d appreciate your suggestions!

I have these issues still sealed, should I leave them like this?

Is it legit? Got this copy at an estate sale.

I love old Pushkin paperbacks. I’ve got to find a way to remove the library stick in the Le Clezio
