Ancient Greek Philosophers (Leather-bound Classics)

This is a beautiful book and must be pretty durable because the Amazon packer threw it on top of a couple of other purchases into a paper shipping BAG, not a box, and the bag was ripped open when it was delivered. Amazon, please, USE BOXES for books!

will make a perfect gift.

Comes with Hellenika by Xenophon. He puts in a good word for Socrates during the trial. I'm so used to Plato's account, this is a pleasant surprise. Beautiful binding!

I just love the way these books look on my shelf! I bought these last two so that I could complete the look on this shelf and I look forward to getting many more in the future!The books are of good quality. They stay open by themselves without much promoting and without cracking the spine which is a huge plus when looking for a book. The designs are always gorgeous so these books qualify simultaneously as pretty decoration and useful book to actually read. Very happy with my purchases.

This is a decent book for the price, but I don't care for the gaudy style. The leather isn't as nice as the competitors, but it is cheaper. The artwork is pleasing, but not the quality of other leather books. It's a nice looking book, it will depend on your aesthetic. The margins are acceptable and the paper is better quality than most hard-cover books. It's a good deal.

My only gripes are very, very minor. Firstly, there is some kind of square impression left on where the title of the book is. Secondly, there is some very minor wear on the back-bottom portion of the book. Im also not a fan of the big bar code sticker on such a nicely produced book. With all that being said and out of the way, it is a beautiful looking book, the text and pages are produced well, and it is crispy like a new book. Perhaps the issues i see are only due to storage. I paid about 60% of the original price so by all means im not complaining, given the circumstance. It was still a deal by all means. If i paid full price, this would have been a different review. But i still give 5/5 as a whole, for Price, punctuality of shipment and quality.

Great read for Classically educated people!!!

I’m not sure how they achieved this level of quality for such a low price. Hopefully it lasts as it is a beautiful book.
