This book is timeless and contains some of Jackson's best work, but unfortunately this edition is riddled with formatting errors. All of the emphasis from the print edition has been lost, and the book is full of obvious typographical mistakes. The overall reading experience is badly diminished, and until the publisher issues a corrected version, I can't recommend this one.
