Frankenstein (Masterpiece Library Edition)

Eeeee I really love it!! It’s so wonderful to have a book look nice, feel nice, and not feel like I’m dirtying it by actually reading LOL? Real sturdy. The gold rimmed pages look lovely, and the feel ohhh the feel!!!Mostly for older prints, but a lot of books I’ve read have had very rough feeling pages, and my hands will fiddle with the corners and wear them out, leaving them soft and rounded and RUINED, and as someone who finds merely dog earring my novels painful. Not great. Here, however, the gold rim leaves pages firm and makes flipping to the next thoughtless (and importantly, makes my constant corner annihilation none too desirable). The paper itself is so smooth that my fingers absently rub along the flat plane of text instead, and of the few fancy books I’ve allowed myself none have offered that same stimulation. Which is baffling. This feels like that expensive printer paper you get yelled at for drawing on as a kid. Why printed books never feel like good printer paper, I will never know. The title I read after this felt like it was made of popcorn ceiling in comparison.Great for display and, in my case, absolutely perfect for reading.The spine is made of a rougher material and it’s the kind that relentlessly attracts the fur of any fluffy pets. If you leave it out you’ll want a lint roll handy lol but it’s such a non issue. This is a great book to read and love Frankenstein AND convince someone the value of a physical copy. Such a steal ❤️❤️❤️

Crazy to think this was written over 200 years ago! While there is definitely some difficult vocabulary to get through, the story is so gripping and filled with so much emotion that it’s hard to put down.Won’t spoil anything else but WOW, what a high quality print of this classic tale. Everything from the cover, binding, gold leafed pages; it’s all quality. It’s such an enjoyable book to hold in your hands. Definitely recommend to add to your own collection or as a gift for anyone who enjoys the classics!

Absolutely beautiful book for a great price. I realized that I had never actually read Frankenstein. I think I'm inspired to get more classics and create a collection!

For 15 dollars I wasn't expecting anything great. Wow, was I wrong. This is a beautiful book that will look great on on our bookshelf. Mary Shelly is quite the writer. She's very descriptive and being that it was written in the early 1800s, it's still an easy read. I am more than happy with this purchase.

I bought this as a gift for my son. He has an eye condition that glasses can't correct, that makes it difficult to read small print. This print is large enough and spaced out enough for him to read. It's also really beautiful. The pages are gilt and the cover looks like leather. It would make a great gift or addition to a collection.

I bought this edition of Frankenstein and Dracula at the same time, and they are both the same size (Dracula is just a longer book). Definitely not the size where you could keep it in your bag and pull it out, but still beautiful! The built-in bookmark and gold lining on the spine and edges of the pages really add to the beauty of this copy. I definitely recommend, especially for the price. A must-have for a collector.

Beautiful copy makes reading a more wonderful experience!

I dont know why it looks dirty but the insides are good looking and I really love the designs!! The pages are smooth and like I love the smell ahahah
