This book is a Christmas gift for our son who had been looking at a more recent version available in store, but reviews were not good as far as incorrect text and grammar. I found this vintage version which had great reviews with the expectations of more literary readers. My order arrived earlier than expected and in beautiful condition, exactly as described and superior quality to the ones in store here. I know he will be chuffed with this gift. K

The book is just like it was in the pictures. No unpleasant surprises. Happy with my purchase.
Very good read- beautifully designed book to add to my clothbound collection :)
Love the book covers from the Penguin Classica clothbound series! Only downside was the sticker affixed to the back took a little of the coloring off the cover.
What can I say about this classic book? First, it's not easy reading. It's one of those books that they made us read in High School or College so that automatically is a negative thing. Second, one has to get used to the archaic (it was archaic even when it was written) English usage that the author deliberately used to express himself. Third, it's kinda a long story which in the beginning (if you're not reading the edited version) digresses -if one can say that- into the mechanics of whaling and what whaling is all about. If you can look beyond these 3 points, I do believe that -given you know the background and time period in which this story was written- you will get much pleasure in reading one of the world's greatest pieces of english literature. be aware ... MoreWhat can I say about this classic book?

There are differences of opinion as to what the author intended to tell his public, but regardless of that, as all great literature, one can find meaning to today's times as well and perhaps to oneself too. Please vote on this guide, it really is appreciated!
Great classic book. Gift for hubby he loves it
Classic tale, amazing depth, Herman knew a thing or two about whaling!
I have read this book when I was younger not read this book yet its winter reading looking forward to it
