Decent

The book stated in was in "good" shape, but I was say it is a little less than good, but still useable. None of the pages are torn but they are yellow with spots on it. And it shipped extremely late compared to all of the other books. My class started quite a while back so I am thankful that I did not need this at the beginning of the summer class or else I would not have had it. I ordered eleven books for my Western Civ class and this was the last book to get here. But if you order from here make sure there is not a time sensitive issue. Other than that it is an okay buy. The price was great though!!!

The Bantam edition (ISBN 0-553-21082-3), edited, introduced and translated by Peter G. Beidler, is inexpensive but readable. I like having the original on one side and a translation on the other because it enables me to make an attempt at reading the original and then check my comprehension with the translation. The introduction and notes are informative but not intrusive. It's true that only ten of the tales are included but there is enough to keep you busy for awhile. I recommend this if you are looking for an inexpensive and portable edition.

Canterbury Tales

I indeed ordered Canterbury Tales as a gift for my daughter. There were many options as to the style of book available. I specifically searched for something appearing a little older or different that was a hardcover and especially liked the idea it was cloth covered...that sold me on this item. When it arrived however it was hardcover but not cloth covered; rather paper covered that looks like cloth on the actual print. That was very disappointing...if I had of known I would not have placed this order.
