Highlights
Quality
My only quibble is with the quality of the hardcover edition
I am very happy with this volume
The font is electra and nobel and my disappointment in searching 3x is not finding any notes about the quality of the paper
I had a similar experience with the volokhonsky translation but i have to admit that schwartz’s translation makes for an easier read
Price
Tolstoy is right up there with shakespeare
Packaging/appearance
The book came quickly and the packaging was in excellent condition
