Frankenstein (Masterpiece Library Edition)

Frankenstein is a classic for a reason. This edition is GORGEOUS, and the story still gives chills—plus, it’s a reminder that building your own monster probably isn’t the best DIY project. Perfect for your collection… or just to feel better about your own questionable life choices.

Ok I haven’t read it yet, but the hardcover is beautiful! Velvet spine, gold pages, and the font is perfect for this genre.

This book looks and feel so good especially for 15 dollars and i love the gold touches

Eeeee I really love it!! It’s so wonderful to have a book look nice, feel nice, and not feel like I’m dirtying it by actually reading LOL? Real sturdy. The gold rimmed pages look lovely, and the feel ohhh the feel!!! Mostly for older prints, but a lot of books I’ve read have had very rough feeling pages, and my hands will fiddle with the corners and wear them out, leaving them soft and rounded and RUINED, and as someone who finds merely dog earring my novels painful. Not great. Here, however, the gold rim leaves pages firm and makes flipping to the next thoughtless (and importantly, makes my constant corner annihilation none too desirable). The paper itself is so smooth that my fingers absently rub along the flat plane of text instead, and of the few fancy books I’ve allowed myself none have offered that same stimulation. Which is baffling. This feels like that expensive printer paper you get yelled at for drawing on as a kid. Why printed books never feel like good printer paper, I will never know. The title I read after this felt like it was made of popcorn ceiling in comparison. Great for display and, in my case, absolutely perfect for reading. The spine is made of a rougher material and it’s the kind that relentlessly attracts the fur of any fluffy pets. If you leave it out you’ll want a lint roll handy lol but it’s such a non issue. This is a great book to read and love Frankenstein AND convince someone the value of a physical copy. Such a steal ❤️❤️❤️

The masterpiece line is my go to selection in this price point. I really enjoy the ribbon page marker and gilding on the page edges. Hard to find a better value currently.

Beautiful book. Heavy hardcover, brilliant gold embossed lettering, almost gothic...with an extra, almost tape like bounding on the outside spine for thick extra support. That is great for over the years, when books are frequently read and stretched open and closed. The pages are crisp and thick, font and format are perfectly sized. I even love the smell of the book. Great sized book, I can hold it and read it in bed.

I have to say I'm entirely impressed. This edition from Peter Pauper Press is just as good as the leather versions that you'd expect from Easton Press, Franklin Library (no longer printing books) and Gryphon Editions. Just absolutely beautiful. Normal sized. Nice cover and binding. Nice paper. Gold on the ends. A ribbon bookmark. At a fraction of the price. I'll be going to Peter Pauper Press editions for any books that they sell!

Bought as a gift. Daughter in law loved it. Very pretty book. Well made.

Und hier habe ich ein sehr schönes Buch gefunden. Halbleinen, Goldprägung, Goldschnitt an allen drei Seiten. Das Papier erstklassige Qualität, in einer angenehmen leicht elfenbeinfarbenen Tönung, Lesebändchen. Druck etwas größer, sodaß man die Augen nicht überanstrengen muss. Das alles zu einem mehr als günstigen Preis. Ich hatte bisher nur eine Paperback Ausgabe in deutscher Übersetzung und wollte endlich lesen, was Mary Shelley wirklich geschrieben hat. Und ich wollte nicht Herman Munster auf dem Buchtitel sehen. Oder anatomische Herzen. Das Buch eignet sich sicherlich auch sehr gut als Geschenk für alle Frankenstein Fans.

El libro está bellisimo. Lo recomiendo 100% (está en inglés)

Highly recommend. I really enjoyed this book so I bought it again as a gift for someone.

The book is bound beautifully with larger than expected pages. Obviously the story itself is great and it is the 1831 version. The book has been read through a couple times and no issues with the binding or pages themselves!

Amazing edition. Simple but exquisite!
