Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Poorly produced machine reprinting
Review: The originals have been squeezed from a 210-page format to half that number of pages by spreading a small typeface across pages with no margins. Although the publisher claims that typographical errors in the original have been corrected, the copy is riddled with ludicrous typos (degree symbols for the letter "o", "&" for the letter "d", "Neil" for "Ned", etc. with an average of 1-1/2 typos per page. Clearly these were scanned by machine and run through a spell checker, untouched by human eye. The illustrations in the originals are omitted. It seemed a service to reprint the original Tom Swift series in an affordable format, but these are cheap, ugly and so carelessly made that they aren't worth the trouble.
