Customer Reviews:Average Customer Rating: Dirty Book on delivery This book is a collectors item. The contents do not disappoint! I really enjoy the drawings to go along with the written pages. It's perfect for anyone who wants to own a single copy of "On the Origin of Species"! My problem is with Amazon! The cover on this book is so filthy, it looks like it had been sitting around a book store for a couple of years before shipping it to me. I really would like Amazon to send me a "Clean Copy", and take this one back. I should have paid the extra money at Barnes & Noble. A beautiful edition of a beautiful book What a lovely book! I got it for my daughter and she's absolutely thrilled with it. Beautiful! This book is absolutely beautiful. Even if you disregard the actual text itself - which one would be a fool to do - the quality of this book is awesome. Strong binding, pleasant typeface, two-column layout, plenty of margin space, text-book quality pages, and of course the abundance of images. This is a book worth keeping on your shelf. The only caveat is that it is large and heavy, making it not very versatile in where and how you read it. If you like to read curled up on a couch holding the book in the air in front of you, this edition is probably not for you. Darwin's Theory I was surprised by the large size of the book. Very professionally done and lots of pictures. I have not finished the 500+ page book yet but will eventually. I was hoping there would be more about the actual Beagle voyage, but I believe there are other books on that subject. Darwin's Origin Plus Darwin's beautiful sentences need quiet time to be read and reread, but the effort is more than worthwhile. The extras in illustrations and excerpts from other Darwin books make the extraordinary insights and revolutionary conclusions of this edition of the "Origin" all the better. | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
