Customer Reviews

Poor print edition, decent cover

The formatting of this edition of the play is not correct, as if it was copied from a pdf and pasted onto book pages. For example, a lot of the stage direction isn’t separated from the dialogue. Additionally, there are numerous typos, including the name of Calphurnia, which is spelled Calpurnia throughout. The pages are also very thin, so the text can be seen through the paper. I bought the book for a nicer looking edition of the play, but unfortunately it is poor quality and not worth the price.
