Nothing can be more beautiful
It's a beautiful edition, totally worth the cost. I loved the illustrations in the book and this translation can be understood by anyone. Even though I am a literature geek but, this very translation is by far the easiest to articulate. The edges of the book were a little bent but, it did not really bother me. Coming to the poem, I don't think I have to elucidate on the beauty of Dante's depiction of hell. It's one of the best written epics and if you love reading epic poems, Dante's Divine Comedy will prove to meet your expectations.

Edition is good. The text you should read or rather sing.
ISBN: 0679433139"The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality."The hell is here. The heaven is here. The ribben is tangled in between. Thanks to Cloudtail India. Thank to amazon.in

One of the Best
Mandelbaum’s translation is clear and poetical. The ‘Divine Comedy’ is essential reading for understanding Western literature and ideas about morality.

Not Mandelbaum’s translation!
0 stars if it was an option.This is a bizarre misrepresentation from Amazon, and false advertising that it is a paperback of this translation. It is amazons own without attribution. DO NOT BUY

Beautifully written and bound
I am not a Dante scholar and don't read Italian, but I selected this translation based on the many reviews I have seen praising its rigour and readability. I can't vouch for the faithfulness of the translation, but it is a splendid book to read as English literature, and a splendid book to use - beautifully bound and printed.

Very easy to read and the notes are wonderful.
I liked the fact that you could actually read the Cantos and the notes after each were very helpful.

Understand what you are reading
One of the best books I've read in a long time, as long as you keep an open mind and understand what he is saying, you won't put it down
