Cloth-bound and very nice to stroke.
Haven't read it yet but it's so hefty that I could probably use it to kill myself with when I get horribly depressed after I do.
Don't expect to be fitting this in your pocket and taking it on a train unless you're MC Hammer, probably avoid putting it in a backpack if you don't want an extra leg-day in the exercise routine and a slipped disk or two, either.
It's a book you keep at home and smugly explain to the plebs that Kindles may end up cheaper in the long run, and may be more portable than some books, but your Poe volume can beat them in a fight 10-on-1.
Lovely.

Hur kundrecensioner och betyg fungerar
Kundrecensioner, inklusive stjärnrecensioner av produkter, hjälper kunder att lära sig mer om produkten och avgöra om det är rätt produkt för dem.
Vi använder inte ett enkelt medelvärde för att beräkna den totala stjärnrecensionen och den procentuella fördelningen per stjärna. Istället tar vårt system hänsyn till saker som till exempel hur nyligen en recension har gjorts och om recensenten köpte artikeln på Amazon. Det analyserar också recensioner för att verifiera deras trovärdighet.

The Fall of the House of Usher and The Purloined Letter by Edgar Allan Poe
In The Purloined Letter, Poe is at his level headed and rational best. The narrator and Dupin are sitting by the fireside one evening when the Prefect of Parisian Police bursts in. He has a big problem on his hands: an influential woman has had an incriminating letter stolen by the Minister D. The police are certain it's in his hotel but they've applied all possible scientific method to searching the place and still haven't found the letter:
"We not only opened every book, but we turned over every leaf in each volume, not contenting ourselves with a mere shake...we also measured the thickness of every bookcover, with the most accurate admeasurement, and applied to each the most jealous scrutiny of the microscope."
Soon the police have exhausted their scientific method. Thankfully, Dupin is on hand to solve the mystery using psychology, produce the letter and explain (with a forgivable amount of smugness) precisely how he managed it.
The Fall of the House of Usher is an entirely different proposition. The narrator receives an unexpected letter from an old friend and hurries to his home. He hasn't seen Roderick Usher for many years and is deeply disturbed by the house and by the state that Roderick has fallen into. He has declined into a pale, melancholy shadow of his earlier self and his sister Madeline is on the verge of succumbing to a wasting disease the doctors cannot identify:
"A sensation of stupor oppressed me as my eyes followed her retreating steps. When a door, at length, closed upon her, my glance sought instinctively and eagerly the countenance of the brother; but he had buried his face in his hands, and I could only perceive that a far more than ordinary wanness had overspread his emaciated fingers through which trickled many passionate tears."
Madeline dies not long after and the narrator helps his old friend to place her coffin in the vault. Roderick's decline worsens and one terrible night he bangs on the bedroom door of his old friend and cries out that in burying his sister he might possibly have been a little hasty...
Two very different tales from the nineteenth-century master of chill and suspense. Plus much else besides. Enjoy them on the train rattling home from work or by the fireside on a dark and stormy night. Either way you'll be mesmerised.
Enjoy!

Classic classic.

Really pleased with this purchase.
Beautiful book, fabric cover, lovely paper, well presented and complete with protective presentation box.
The works of EAP speak for themselves - "Evermore" (to parody the man himself's best loved poem).
A lovely present - but I'm keeping my copy!

Beautiful book.
Granskad i Storbritannien den 13 maj 2013
I debated whether or not to buy this for quite a while. It seemed expensive to me, but I really loved how it looked and I love Poe.
The book is beautiful. The leather cover is embossed with the writing and pattern and the spine of the book is equally as intricate. The edges of the pages are silver. I's a strong book, taking a few knocks in my bag without showing any signs of damage. The spine is strong enough for you to open the book without worrying about weakness. It has a little ribbon to mark your pages.
Sometimes it's a little difficult to keep the book open and it's quite heavy, but that applies to all thick books, as most readers will know.
It's a lovely addition to my bookshelf.

Wrong Cover
Granskad i Storbritannien den 25 januari 2021
Item was dispatched quickly and arrived in great condition, very happy.
The book arrived with a different cover on it though, not the raven cover which is
shown in the listing. The book has the same content, but the publisher obviously
used different covers for different publications of the book, not a massive issue.
