The Wealth of Nations (Deluxe Hardbound Edition)

Buy it

Travelling with the author. It is great opportunity to read it. I feel privileged to be able to get this great work.

It is a classic, but contents are upto individual readers to accept to the extent they feel okay.

The Wealth of Nations does not need a review! After several (worthless) paperback editions of this classic, I am now thrilled to get this magnificent Modern Library edition. It is hardbound, and beautiful. The highlights of this edition are: it is based on the fifth edition, the last published during Adam Smith's life time;it contains all the five Books; it has an introduction by the Editor, Edwin Cannan, an authority on Smith; it contains notes provided by the editor; the paragaraphs are provided with marginal summary; besides the original index, the editor has provided a separate index of authorities referred to in the text and by the editor in his notes. The book is section stitched and bound sturdily, so that it can be fully opened without fear! Any serious student/reader is bound to resort to this book repeatedly, and this edition will stand such use well.The typeface used is Sabon, which reads easy, but the font size is rather small, for such a big volume.However, this may not pose a problem since it is a serious book, and one is likely to read it in rather short spells. The price at which Amazon offered it is quite reasonable. This is a beautiful volume to have.

Paper quality of the book is nice. Of course the book is a wonderful read. Thoughtful. Must read for all students with a flair for economics. Size is that of a normal novel with thickness as per the pages mentioned. This is one among the three series of the volumes written by Adam Smith. Worth buying other two also. Those willing to read a quality paper may purchase this. But those only interested in the content at a reasonable/economic price may opt for other product of the same book having a consolidated matter, i.e., all volumes together, a thick one.
