3.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant fiction, so-so production, June 26, 2007

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Benito Cereno, Bartleby: The Scrivener, and The Encantadas (Paperback)
This is a rather ugly book. The pages seem to be sized the same as if you printed on regular paper and then reduced them, giving the effect of lines that are too long. A better bet might be to search for The Piazza Tales.
