I will just focus on this edition in particular, as well as on Amazon's Prime service. Very disappointed.
OK, so firstly I'd like to thank Amazon for helping me make up my mind not to pay for a Prime subscription. I'll explain myself.
I got a 1-month trial subscription. My first order was split into 3 separate deliveries despite all the items being sent by Amazon (an absolute pain). My second order was this book along with two others from the same collection. Again, the second order was split into 2 deliveries despite the fact that the 3 books were from Macmillan collector's and all sent by Amazon. The first delivery (not this book) was supposed to take place the following day. My country's public postal service (I'm Spanish) indeed tried to deliver it on Monday morning when, as is to be expected in many households, nobody was home. As a result, they didn't try to deliver it a second time but notified me via SMS that I had to go pick it up at the post office. So after work on Tuesday afternoon I had to rush to the other side of town before the office closed. That's a great Prime service! You pay so that your orders get an express delivery and instead end up being forced to go to the post office only after one attempted delivery on a weekday morning. It makes no sense at all.
This book, together with another one, were delivered by a courier service that Tuesday. Anyway the too books were packed snugly so the dust jackets were almost flawless.
Now, about Macmillan's edition.
The book looks gorgeous but, first of all, it's ridiculously tiny. It's much smaller than any regular pocket book I've ever seen. For instance, my Collin's Classics are 17 cm tall; Penguin's small paperbacks are slightly bigger (around 18 cm I guess). Macmillan collector's are clearly smaller, probably around 14-15 cm. The palm of my hand is literally bigger than them. Besides, the dust jacket is slightly too big; it doesn't stay in place and I had to remove it while reading the book because it was getting crumpled.
Moreover, the pages are bound a little too hard so you will need to push them down with both hands all the time while reading. All this together with the tiny font makes reading this book an ordeal.
Bottom line: if you want a nice-looking book to keep on your shelf, go for it. The gilded edges are absolutely gorgeous, and so is the hardcover design underneath the jacket. But these books aren't convenient at all if all you want is a good read.
