Fantastic book well worth reading for a number of reasons, however, one ought to be careful with edition. The "Masterworks of Literature" edition tends to fall apart due to poor binding. Therefore, it was only worth buying for Don L. Cook's informative & perceptive introduction. To anyone interested I suggest opting for the cloth rather than the inexpensive paperback edition, hopefully it will prove stronger.
