What does this mean?Highlights
Quality
Its full of anachronisms that may jar scholars but make it interesting and seem to be in tune with the characters and events in the story
Sometimes they seem out of context with the lyrical language used elsewhere
Even with the original storys many fantastical elemenets you feel brought to the front lines of battle
Price
Frankly headleys introduction alone is worth the purchase price
Packaging/appearance

Ive long suspected that the translation i read in high school was a product of the warehouse bob newhart imagined in which an infinite number of monkeys labored at their typewriters for eternity trying to write the works of shakespeare
