    A great book weirdly published
  

*by M***G on Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2022*

Waterfield is the best. He's a cogent and compelling writer as well as (I assume from his reputation--I don't know Greek) a gifted translator. I can't wait to dive deep into this work. I'm in the introduction now, and it's a joy.And now a few words about the physical book itself.I made the mistake of ordering the $55 hardcover edition. Basing my expectations on the way this same publisher (University of Chicago Press) had treated its Seneca series--classy cloth-bound editions made to last a lifetime, with creamy, premium paper, Smyth-sewn bindings, and attractive dust jackets--I nearly hurt myself in my haste to plop down the requisite cash for a hardcover copy of this exciting new edition of Epictetus.What I got for my $55 was a print-on-demand product on cheaper paper, a glued-not-sewn binding, and a plain matte-black, glued-on self-cover made of some kind of odd, rubbery paper.The U of C Press website (as of Oct, 2022) lists the two print format options as "Paper" and "Cloth." If the hardcover book I received was cloth-bound, I'm a fish.Luckily, the Amazon return was free, easy, and fast. I sent the strange thing back to them asap and ordered the paperback copy, for a savings of more than $35. It's a handsome paperback edition. It too has that oddly tacky finish on the cover (try sliding it across a marble countertop--it puts up a fight), but it's a well-made paperback at least. The binding's not sewn, but the glue job looks more substantial than the one on the print-on-demand edition.So...buyer beware, I guess. If you're collecting the Stoics, you'll certainly want to own this translation; just don't get your hopes up about a high-quality hardcover edition--a life-long companion that you can mark up, make your own, and harmlessly splay open on the table in front of you as you eat your morning cereal.It's hard to know what the U of C Press had in mind with this publishing plan.

    Great one volume edition
  

*by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2023*

I bought the hardcover. Not worth the $$$ they charge -- there is no jacket, for example and it doesn't seem to be a premium binding... but it's not too bad. The font is generous and easy to read (see pics). It opens flat, which nice. Overall, easy to read and hold. Contents are A+ of course. It's everything there is of Epictetus. Great translation.

    Impecable Content in a Cheap, Print-on-demand Container.
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2022*

Excellent translation. Best I’ve read so far. This wonderful book is only marred by the cheap binding and paper used to print the book. No dust cover, cheap paper with a solid black front and back. For $55 I expected better paper, binding and a dust cover for protection. The translator deserved better—as do the customers.
