This book is part of the Everyman's Library series. Meaning it is made with really good paper, really good binding, is hardcover, has a cloth cover, and even a sewn-in bookmark. The Everyman's Library contains more than 500 titles, and all are classics that probably wouldn't make it on their own in today's market, if they sold at normal book margins. This book is a bargain no matter how you look at it. Thoroughly entertaining, usually hilariously ridiculous, and just pure fun.
