Customer Reviews

Good content, not happy with the condition

I wish books would not be marked as "very good condition" when they are covered in stickers ($5! Half price!) that are impossible to remove without damage.

A very nice edition with an informative introduction

This is a complete collection of Burns' poems plus his songs and ballads. The book arrived in good condition with just the expected quality of paperbacks published on this pulp stock. Not only does it contain a good history but it has a most useful glossary. The inclusion of ballads is of interest to anyone who appreciates the many YouTube videos featuring "Burns Night" celebrations across the world. Discover why this man of the people is so revered still today.
