Buy the print version

This is a great book, but I made the mistake of buying the Kindle edition. This book is best enjoyed in the print version due to the number of illustrations and photos and graphics that do not come across well on Kindle.

A good book but a bit pricey, especially as it is print-on-demand. I don't know if it's because of it being print-on-demand, but the photos and illustrations are very poor quality.

The three star review has nothing to do with the story, it has to do with this edition of it. First of all, this is the quintessential Holmes story and one of my favorites. I highly recommend it. This edition claims to be "illustrated". I was expecting S. Paget's wonderful drawings throughout the book as I have found in other illustrated Kindle editions of SH. What you get is a few very random pictures at the end of the book. (a poster from a play, a photograph of a deerstalker and pipe, and a few Paget's from totally unrelated stories. One of the last TOC listings is for a link to a "free audio recording" of HOTB. There is no link. I tried it on my android tablet, my kindle and my android phone.

The kindle version I purchased is not useful, unlike print versions of Lonely Planet books I purchased earlier.
By any means, if the print version also contain the same material, it would be equally useless.

The one star is NOT for this story, which rates five stars, but rather for this particular printing of the book. I have never been so embarrassed to own a classic. I should have been tipped off by the cover, which shows amateur-hour art but I reminded myself, "Don't judge a book by its cover" & purchased it for myself & my son. I started reading it last night and the 2nd sentence of the preface had me raising an eyebrow: "He was a journalist, autobiographer and a satirist could inspire (sic) his readers of that time." Here is another gem from the preface: "When the animals, the so-called characters in the novel, making their attempts (sic) to learn the alphabets (sic) in different ways, definitely the scene who (sic) who (sic) would be bringing some (sic) unexpected laughter to the reader." OK, I thought, let's move onto the actual book. Here I was less appalled, but by no means satisfied, due to the number of typos I found and the fact that the print job is clearly very cheap, with several pages blurry and/or bleeding through to the other side. In short, I recommend Animal Farm very highly, but NOT this edition..

The Book is awesome ... highly recommended reading.  After I read it, I bought four copies to give as gifts.  The quality of this book is so-so.  The print is very large, so it would be good if you need large print.  But the print quality is not great.  The quality of the cover and pages is not as nice as the original TAN Books release (which is what I originally read).  Since I was buying several, I went with this to save a few bucks.  I would still recommend this if you just want a copy for reading, but if you want a nicer copy, go with the more expensive one.

This is a review of the print version.  While the "look inside" was only for the Kindle Version, we assumed that the print version would be similar.  However, the print version photos are all ONLY BLACK AND WHITE.  There is no color.  For the audience (children), this is definitely a no-go.  The photos themselves are nice, but without color they definitely lose a lot, and don't compare at all favorably to the Kindle book.

Stratton's book is a classic and it is a great book to have for someone trying to learn the field. However, this is not a normal edition. The print quality is not very good - like it would be in a normal xerox of an old book. No copyright pages are given, there is no publisher information, so it seems like it is not an official edition. Some equations are circled and there are a few minor comments/markings  scattered through the pages which indicates this is someone's book which has been used for mass scale production - somehow I did not realize this when I ordered the book. Had i known this I would have gotten an official copy as that would be the right thing to do.

Please note that this book comes in 2 different versions which both came out the same year.  If you click "to look inside" you will get the $38 version which is in color.  The $16.99 version is all in black and white except for the cover.  Black and white would be fine, however the pages are exactly the same only printed in black and white.  What I mean is that the parts that were once in color are now in gray and are difficult to read.  Even the main text which is in black is unclear.  Content-wise the book is very enjoyable, but beware of low-quality printing!

The print version of this book has wonderful illustrations in the style of many different authors, including Hieronymus Bosch.  They really are an essential component to the work and are absent from this electronic version.

This book has come well recommended to me, but the author needs to get another printing done. There seems to be no hard copies available anywhere, new or used. I'm not going to buy a kindle just so I can read this book as much as I would like to. Too bad.

Several reviewers have expressed dismay at the abridgment of the book in this large-print version, which contains only a fraction of the material from the original. Though I'm retired now, I was the editor who abridged this material, so I know it's abridged for a good reason.

The original 1911 edition is now in public domain, so it has been reprinted by many publishers. You will find them if you look under this title on Amazon.com. We believed that visually impaired people also needed to read these testimonies, and to be advertised as a "large-print book" this version had to conform to the standards of the National Association of the Visually Handicapped (NAVH). This organization specifies the minimum size of the type, the spacing between lines of type, and the generous spacing of the margins. If we put the original, unabridged text into this format, it would have amounted to three times as many pages--at three times the price. So far as I know, there are no other large-print editions or audio editions of Lawson's book, so this is the only way vision-impaired people can get access to it.

I'm happy to say that Warner Press has abridged other classic Christian books and put them in large-print format to reach the millions of vision-impaired people who cannot read standard-sized text. It isn't done to water down the truth or accommodate people's limited attention spans. It's done to serve people who would not have access to this material in any other way. As Paul Harvey used to say, "Now you know the rest of the story."

The content of this book is fine. It's indeed motivational to a degree. The biggest problem is that the print run of the copy I got is totally hosed up. I was happily reading along and then page 96 jumped to page 33. WTF? The seller immediately gave me a refund, which is great; I have no problem with the seller. However, I fail to see why I should have to repurchase this book in order to finish reading it. A visit to the author's website was unhelpful: the Contact tab only gives people options to hire her for speaking gigs, etc., and instructions for press. What about your actual CUSTOMERS, honey? Ya know, the people who actually made you a "badass at making money"? Is there a way we can contact the author? No, not really. But we can subscribe to her newsletter and hire her to speak! Okay well thanks but ... yeah, no. I'll just order the Tony Robbins book I was eyeing to begin with but bought yours because it sounded amusing & was way cheaper. Have a nice day!

Buy the print edition!

I am use to the way Kindle displays its books and I take into account its idiosyncrasies. This edition the chapters that are just one long continuos page,  with no breaks between paragraphs or page breaks. Example, the mid-break used to display the books photographs, no change, no page break. Just typed texted, photos and at the last photo the text starts on the same page as if it is explaining the picture but is in fact the continuation of the story.

General Moore is throwing a lot of information at you and it relates the personal recollections of different participants,  without the editing that comes from a book. It is easy to get lost with who is speaking. It cheapens the story that General Moore is trying tell. So do yourself a favor, read General Moore's story but do it in a printed book edition. Something I wished I had done.

I wish there would be a small(and lighter) print version as well as digital versions. The book is great if you don't like small prints, but the weight and thickness is way too much.

I would strongly recommend buying the Kindle version rather than the paperback, which is so small that the print is virtually unreadable.

Beware...the CreateSpace offering of Von Arnim's lovely story is a scanned version full of errors.  (It is the one with a brown cover with several old texts piled on top of each other.)  The binding is cheap and the large notebook size is not as convenient as a regular-sized paperback.  I wanted to buy this book as a gift so I ordered the one printed by Cassia Press (it is the one with a white cover with purple flowers).  The Cassia Press version is much nicer (and a little less expensive).  I looked through it quickly before wrapping it and it appears to be a good printing.
