    A Christmas Carol: 1914 Reprint (2008 Vintage Edition) has been rated 5 starsA True Classic

    Has any story been copied more times than A Christmas Carol?

    It seems almost every year there is a new movie version.

    I hope all readers take time to read this wonderful reprint of the original classic edition of A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

    Dickens’ language remains humorous, descriptive and insightful and not inaccessible to most modern readers especially with the use of a good glossary.

    This is a wonderful read at Christmas time.

    Don’t settle for an abridged version. Read the masterpiece …

    A Christmas Carol: 1914 Reprint (2008 Vintage Edition) has been rated 1 starsSloppy AND Incomplete

    I guess I expected too much for the price, but this ‘reprint’ is a poor excuse of a scan of the original 1914 edition. I can almost forgive the illustrations being only in black and white, but it’s A.I. Keller’s color illustrations that ARE the reason for the reprint. Are they not? How many copies (with excellent illustrations) can you buy of this five star novella in print today? Hundreds! At least do a clean scan of the illustrations. It looks like they were snapped with a Kodak Instamatic through a dirty aquarium. I might also add you need to include the last 173 words of the story in your ‘reprint’. My copy finished with “and as good a”. I’m sorry. I just don’t sleep well at night without Tiny Tim observing “God Bless Us, Every One!”

    Oh,yeah…put the “digitized” title on the spine of the ‘reprint’. Merry Christmas.
