Critique of Pure Reason: Unified Edition (with all variants from the 1781 and 1787 editions)

Great book. Delivered in good condition.

Was the exact book l was looking for and with a little work was able to repair the spine. Awesome price and books pages are like new.

So far, so good. Translation is very clear and easily comprehended.

Many of the pages are practically transparent. This is a major pet peeve that I have. Other than that, the book is sturdy. I ordered the hardcover.

The unified edition is excellent for scholars, but the footnotes aren't super visibly distinct from the main text (they're about 2pt font smaller than the main text,) and not separated by any lines. The author also mixes clarifying footnotes, footnotes about the specific German wording, footnotes about relevant standard academic papers on specific passages, footnote translations of Kant's Latin insertions, etc. with all the other footnotes. It's impossible to tell whether there's a genuinely clarifying comment to be found at the bottom of the page or whether the author just wanted you to know that Kant used Objekt at the beginning of the paragraph and Gegenstand later on, though they're both translated as "object".There are, on average, about 7 footnotes per page, and you have to glance down each time to see what kind of footnote the author inserted this time. This makes a smooth reading experience virtually impossible, but does mean that you're unlikely to find this book insufficient as a reference book.Also, about a month after buying the book, several pages started falling out. The glue no longer holds them to the spine. There's a large, ~40 page section which seems to want to fall out together currently, but only ~8 have fallen out so far.I'm giving it 4 stars and am just gonna assume that I got unlucky with the binding on my copy. It's a great/comprehensive copy, but I personally for my own sanity had to go ahead in the book and add my own pencil marks to footnotes which were actually useful comments so that I could just ignore most of the translation-related footnotes.
