100 Selected Poems, William Wordsworth: Collectable Hardbound edition [Hardcover] WILLIAM WORDSWORTH

I gave this collection as a was gift to my brother; he was thrilled with the selections and with the book itself.

The artwork inside the front and back covers makes the book look special. The paper quality is thin. Print from the opposite side can be seen through. The book does not detract from the beauty of Wordsworth's words, but I was hoping for a higher quality book.

Upon opening the book, I immediately wanted to return it. I have never had a book with such poor paper quality. I haven’t been able to find a book to replace it for its content, so o may just end up keeping it. It’s a shame as I would’ve happily bought other books in the collection- the quality is just awful.

You can do better than this.

I'm no expert on Wordsworth so I truly can't say whether this is a good selection of his writings but I did enjoy it and think the selections are fine. I bought the whole set (Wordsworth, Yeats, Keats, and Dickinson) and this one is the largest. The book jacket is that soft touch material and the book underneath is fairly plain but still looks nice. I was a little disappointed in the paper quality, since for a "collectible" edition I was expecting nice paper. The pages in these books are thin, rough feeling paper that just comes across a bit cheap. Some pages have the printing slightly skewed. For the price and size of the books, I'm underwhelmed. At least they look decent on the shelf.

Great book and value!

Spectacular and refreshing
