The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire

The book arrived promptly and in good condition.I read one of the versions of Gibbon many years ago and comment on the quality of the content based on that, as I am unsure of how long it will take me to read this one, or, indeed, whether I shall finish it. This is due to the very small print size; I would gladly have paid more to have had a bigger book or the contents shared between two parts. The normal text is small but the notes are even smaller. Before buying this version, invest in a readers magnifying glass !

Good usable paperback of an important text missing from my library.

History buffs will know that this is an absolute classic

excellent, well chosen abridged edition, well edited. fine work: david womersley has, as ever, done his job superbly

great present
