Summary: Irresponsible Attitude in Print Quality and Paper Used
Review: For "The Letters of Emily Dickinson" by Thomas H. Johnson, 999 pages, Hardcover.

Paper used for Hardcover Edition is terrible, thin and fragile. After few pages read, your fingers will mark the pages easily.

Printing quality is bad, may be plates used are too old. Characters are ambiguous sometimes; often an "e" looks like a "c". You can even see some fiber marks in the print, it looks like a product from an old copy machine. Unclean printing makes this too-white paper even dirtier.

This is an irresponsible attitude for Hardcover book. Unlike "The Manuscript Books of Emily Dickinson" also by Belknap Press Harvard, which has excellent quality. Price is about the same, $110 for 999 pages and $220 for 1442 pages.

The content suits my needs perfectly, thought it spoiled my reading everytime. It should be improved.
