A glorious and fascinating book, Loeb Classical Library -- both Latin text and English on facing pages. A good, though prose, translation with very helpful introductory material. This particular copy was in as-new condition at a great price. It was well packaged and shipped out very quickly.
I guess it would have beenm better had it been free, but barring that it's perfect!

Bought to compare with another translation
Other is a bit easier going: would not have bought either, if it were not for my reading of The Swerve by S. Greenblatt.
