Not really illustrated, shoddy publishing
This version is not well published, unfortunately. The product description shows "independent publisher" but there is zero publishing info on the nearly-blank title page and the back page shows "printed by Amazon".It has a bit of formatting but mostly looks like it's been copied and pasted. My 13yo has already found an error reading the intro (see pic, "...he held a steady and low-paying <missing words>..."Also, the book indicates it's illustrated but the images look like clip art and stop after chapter 6. I counted a total of 7 images, so "illustrated" is quite misleading.I miss real publishing.

Fabulous classic in a beautiful clothbound edition
Please note that the book is actually light blue, not orange as depicted. However, it is another wonderful addition to the clothbound series of classics. The story, of course, is fast paced and as enjoyable as ever, though I’m amazed it’s been re-released in a new edition without ‘trigger warnings’ about outdated cultural depictions...

strange print/formatting - like homemade/pirated book
very cheap printing. the size of font is inconsistent; words very small on some pages; other pages much bigger. strange indenting and formatting. it looks like someone printed it in stages off a home computer. looks like a pirated copy.

Not orange red, but a green blue
Ok, so I already have this book. I only chose this because of the clothbound cover - however it is a different colour to the one shown in the photo. This may not matter to you but it does to me!

Certainly Five Stars earned!
A very nice book I was looking for, about Jules Verne's well known adventure about Phileas Frogg and Passepartout, who made their contest travelling around the world in 80 days. Together with packed and beautiful illustrations, this book made the whole story very understandable for everyone.Certainly, if you have also the movie from 1956 by Mike Todd, reading this book next to, it really keeps your imagination alive!
