Summary: Low quality
Comment: This review is, of course, for the publishing and other aspects of the book. Poe's work stands for itself.

I had two complaints, and felt they were sufficient to justify returning the book. The paper is thin, of low quality, and the binding also seems weak. The illustrations are terrible. There may be a few that are good, but not of the dozen or so I looked carefully at. As a class, they are amateurish and meaninglessly caricaturized so that they add nothing to the story. In one case, the picture revealed information that had not yet been made clear in the story, but was only found after turning the illustration over (The Oblong Box, and the fact of the box's contents).

Perhaps for the price this should have been expected, but it stands.
