### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Decent copy but worth getting the hard back.
  

*by K***C on Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2011*

I bought this for a class that required the Riverside Chaucer, and I took a gamble hoping that the pages would be relatively the same.  Turns out they are.  All of the notes, introductory material, index are there.  The pages are the same as the larger, hard cover copy.  The only problem I have with this edition is that the binding does not look very long-lasting, and the ink on the pages smudges.  Seems cheaply put together.  I like to own good books, and the Riverside Chaucer is definitely worth having as a student of literature.  I wish I had spent a little more money and purchased the hard cover edition which is so much better made (I've compared this one with the hard cover copies my fellow students have).  You get what you pay for with this copy.  If you want to keep an edition of Chaucer for a long time, get the hard cover edition and your money will be well spent.

    Much easier to haul around than the hardcover
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2015*

I'm not really here to review Chaucer. If you're reading him, you know what you're dealing with. I do wish, however, that they put the additional information all in one place, instead of having notes before the section, at the back of the book (in addition to the glossary), and footnotes. The page numbering matches the hardcover exactly, which was much appreciated during tests.As for the quality of the book itself, it's all right. I bought this because my class is a half hour walk away from my apartment, and is uphill, too. The hardcover would have been terrible to bring. The paper is thin and the print is small, but the upside is that it's a whole lot lighter. The binding hasn't failed despite a semester of fairly heavy abuse, so it's done it's job. My professor said the older paperback edition used to be notorious for how quickly the binding split, so I appreciated that my book is still in pretty good shape, 4 months later.

    Not  usable
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2018*

This paperback is about 3" think, not exactly a pocket book.  The type is the smallest I have seen since we had phone books.  The notes are about 1/2 of the text.  There is a lot of apparatus, notes, etc.  There is an article on the astrolabe.  The notes would be meaningful to a scholar.  There are no color pictures.The inclusion of Chaucer's works seems to be exhaustive.  The paper is of average quality, and my personal opinion is that is will yellow quickly. The binding is very tight, but not sewn.  It is hard to imagine anyone using this book, because of its size small print, small margins, binding that is not sewn, poor paper, and I would suspect that the glue of the binding will crack and the pages fall out.
