Comments

TheAvo: There is no table of contents in this Kindle edition. This makes navigating this very long book very difficult and in my opinion, unusable.

Melita Head: I am clearly not bright enough for this book. I need to stick to Dr Seuss. The book is in great shape, legible and probably full of useful information once I am able to get past the second chapter. I will try again. Never give up!

Stephen Wahrhaftig: This appears to be a print on demand version. This is fine, as the print quality is good. The book is large (being the complete set of WON), and I found no errors in the text.

There are no extras - no forward, overview, or index. Bare bones but does appear complete and readable. A good value if you do not need an index.

Larry: I wanted to see why Elon Musk thinks highly of this book so I ordered a copy. For any serious understanding of how an economy works in any civilization the writings of Adam Smith provide a rich background without being overly academic.

Amalecyte: Le texte est celui d'Adam Smith, présenté en deux colonnes. Rien à dire de ce côté. Si vous cherchez La richesse des nations en anglais, vous aurez La richesse des nations en anglais.

C'est l'édition qui justifie mes 2 étoiles:
- La couverture montre un portrait de Smith, mais mal détouré... ça donne l'image générale du soin apporté à l'édition.
- même portrait à l'intérieur, mais cette fois pixelisé et mal recadré. Pauvre Smith...
- ce manque de soin se retrouve dans le livre, dont la qualité est faible. Une reliure vaguement collée pour 420 pages, ça ne va pas tenir dans le temps. Surtout, ne pas l'ouvrir trop, sous peine de voir des feuilles voler...
- Enfin, le texte est imprimé sur deux colonnes, ce qui aide à la lecture (le livre mesure 20cm x 25cm), mais il n'y a quasiment pas de marge. Personnellement, j'ai besoin de prendre des notes. Le texte arrive aussi près des marges que possible et me rend claustrophobe. Toute tendance, même légère, à la dyslexie, sera impitoyablement punie.

Il s'agit donc d'une édition créée en 2 minutes, qui ne tiendra pas au-delà de la première lecture.

Donc, si vous cherchez un...

Spikegenius: Everyone needs to read this book, if they give a damn at all to know what’s going on in this world.

Jeffery Paul Gardner: Large format and obviously scanned & OCR'd but errors are few
