The Iliad & The Odyssey (Barnes & Noble Collectible Classics: Omnibus Edition) (Barnes & Noble Leatherbound Classic Collection)

(Canterbury Classics 2011 - Yellow cover with man on horse followed by man with spear and shield embossed on a gold background) It's the Samuel Butler prose translation, which is a well-regarded prose version of the Iliad and Odyssey [now in public domain fyi], but they changed the names of gods back to Greek from Butler's Roman. I noticed something like ten or fifteen typos where the word was misspelled as another valid word, for example you might see "all who escaped depth in battle or by shipwreck had got safely home" instead of "all who escaped death in battle or by shipwreck had got safely home". There were no nonsense typos or printing errors, though.

I dropped the book once and the cover came completely off, But since it was so beautiful and the font was nice I decided to just super glue The cover back on and I’ve had no problem since

The pages look they were printed by a home printer that was low on ink. Some pages are barely even readable.

I gave this book to my youngest son as an unexpected HAPPY. And boy, did it make him truly happy! It’s prominently displayed in his new home and he’s so proud of it. It’s a beautiful addition to any library. It’s leather bound. It will be something he will have for the rest of his life. Mom did good!

Nice quality of looks and construction. Highly recommended ! I will be buying more books in this series.
