Book Reviews of Growth of the Soil
Book Review: Feather Trail Press edition terrible
Summary: 5 Stars
I have just purchased the Feather Trail Press edition of this fantastic novel, but am disgusted with the quality of the layout. The second line of the cumbersome, wordy description on the back has noticeable typos, followed by several more as it goes on. It almost seems like a non English speaker composed the back description, swapping words, changing sentence structure and unaware of run-on's.
The actual layout in the book is unsightly. Slim margins, courier style font make it un-enjoyable and resembling a dry, dreary term paper rather than a soft, humanistic masterpiece.
Googling Feather Trail Press has offered no results, there is no contact information inside the book, no website, address, etc.
Although I have not inspected it, I would recommend the Penguin classic edition based on past experience.
