![]() ![]() I have amended my review accordingly but my thoughts on the Pimlico version remain the same, ie Avoid like the plague. ![]() I’ve since read book two in the Bodley Head paperback and it is much better and have had no trouble, and so would recommend the Bodley Head versions if you wish to get them in paperback. Get a hardback edition, if possible.ĮDIT 08/10/20: Since I wrote this review, there appears to have been a new paperback edition of all current volumes of Caro’s LBJ, by Bodley Head. A book (indeed series) this masterful deserves a good binding, a proud place on everyone’s shelf and to be read again and again and again - but the edition is not up to scratch. A pressing that disintegrates within the first chapter is not going to stand up to repeat readings. I value my books, take care of them and often re-read them or refer to them for reference again and again. Now pages jut out, get bent, torn when you put it down, slip out and fall away etc etc. ![]() Barely 37 pages in a whole section of book just fell apart and came away from the binding. The edition on sale here is the Pimlico edition, the paperback. This is a fantastic book, it is written beautifully - the story flows from page to page and the early chapters of life in the 19th Century Hill Country are utterly gripping. ![]()
