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!
The image that accompanies this review is not of the edition ordered and received.

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