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.

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 ❤️❤️❤️

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

I'm loving the book so far. My husband will have to get a second copy if he doesn't want to see my annotation notes. Lol The only thing I would suggest to The Lost Book Project Team is to reformat it to accommodate smaller hands. Instead of it being this 6x9 size make it 4x6 or 5x7 size. I'm having to curl the book to comfortably read it. See pics for example.

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.

This was a gift for my husband. It is a beautiful book and looks well on the bookshelf.

Amazing, the quality of this book is immaculate, I wasn’t expecting much at first but now having it in hand it feels so high quality, along with the paper quality and gold pages!

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!
