War and Peace (Deluxe Hardbound Edition)

The book's cover is absolutely beautiful. Though there's one thing, the pages are very thin, other than that everything is good. Love it!!

This is the best edition of War And Peace I've got. This has a beautiful cover art with embossed double eagle symbol which is rare. I Iove this book.

Great book, great quality.

Ratings are out of 5 View- 5 (Clean. Few minor marks can be seen, but i will ignore this time) Page quality- 4 (thin but fine, could have been thicker) Story- Will be a crime to rate it. Package- 4 (atleast they added bubble wrap this time. Thanks Amazon) Translated by Aylmer and Louise Maude (hope it is added in the description) Overall I shall rate a solid 4.5 out of 5stars

Good read

Cover of the book received is not the same as shown in the images on Amazon. But otherwise it’s a good book.

Firstly, it’s the Louise and Aylmer Maude translation. I noticed that this is not mentioned in the product description or any of the other reviews. Also, this is the best available translation. Secondly, the paper quality is good. It’s light but also a little plasticky. Binding is also nicely done with no blind spots on the inner edges, even in the middle part of the book. Bookmark is a nice touch.

0 star if posible. The papaer quality is extremely thin, u cannot read as the back print is visible. Also the paper is white not the warm yellow that is general in book printing. I have other books of fingerprint publications but they are not as bad as this one, do not buy

In spite of all of the grumbling on here, this is a lovely book, especially for the price. Of course, it has thin pages, but they are high quality Bible paper, designed for very dense books such as this with over 1200 pages. The gilding is very nice, not sloppy at all. The only downside is the barcode in the middle of the back cover, but really this is not so serious. Does anyone expect to get something like a beautiful old first edition for this price? It is a VERY nice edition and worth every penny.

Returned. Too small print. Thin tissue paper pages. It’s 1 book not 2 as in the advert.

The product is not new and really damaged. Really disappointing.

Very pretty version, and would look amazing on any collector's bookshelf. That said- the pages are so thin, like old school Bible pages. You can see the print from the other side of the page on the page you're reading and with a book such as War and Peace which is already not a light read, it adds undue difficulty.

As far as the writing goes it’s unmatched just brilliant. Tolstoy is one of the greatest writers in history. Now the book itself has some drawbacks. The paper is very thin and easy to tear. While reading it’s hard to concentrate because the printing on the other side shows through. The gold guild leaves something to be desired. It leaves the pages sticking together and you have to actually go through the process of making sure they are apart so to read them. The binding is ok although as you reach the end of the book it is very noticeable in the spine it’s been read. Making it look older than it is and not like a keep sake. I purchased this book to add to my library and wanted something other than just a paperback, looking back should have researched it a bit more.
