The Complete Poems and Plays: 1909-1950

This is a book lover's book. When I got my first copy, I was sixteen. Recently I ordered it again--the identical book. In all these fifty years it was the only thing that hadn't changed or been made cheaper. It was the only thing I can think of that hadn't grown in some way tawdry--because of the man who wrote it. Eliot defined more than modern poetry. He defined our culture--where it had been, where it was going. True it was all downhill, from "The Waste Land" forward, but there is strength in truth. His poems and plays are all here, even his so-called whimsical verse. If there is ONE BOOK that sums up civilization--East and West-- in the past 150 years, this is it. Buy this one.

Package Tracking left something to be desired but overall I am satisfied with the book

Happy with the sale. Thank you

T.S. Eliot is standard required material in almost any college; certainly it should be on the reading list of every person who has aspirations of being a writer. At Sewanee there was probably a copy of this book in just about every student’s collection. I still marvel at the art Eliot presents. This is the third copy I've bought over the years. Both of my children carried off my previous copies. Do yourself a favor and immerse your brain in the words of Eliot. Vacuum clean your brain. My personal library contains several thousand volumes; this one is currently on my desk. No, I don't constantly pick it up. It's here to remind me of the pleasures I experienced in undergraduate and graduate school.

I am not certain, not with any surety, that the dust-jacket of this printing is the same as that which I bought in the early 1970’s. I can say, though, that I believe that the ‘70’s editions used the same portrait of Eliot.I generally purchase Kindle Books. But, with Eliot, I had to have the physical book. Anyone would. You cannot begin your Eliot journey reading Prufock from a computer screen.This has been, I think, for many years, the definitive collection of Eliot’s poems and play. Everyone should own it and read it.

Fast delivery.

This is a great book and the condition is as described. Shipping is fast. The package is very solid.

I wanted the book to enlighten my thoughts and to research the man. The book was ordered, paid for and delivered with no problems and was in the condition it was advertised as.

I like the book since,-It is his complete work-The book itself is built and presented impressively.-The paper colour, the fonts the size of the book is very appealingRecently any book I buy is either downloads, paperback,.. there is no inviting feeling towards the media they present, which has got nothing to do with the content.I come from work and the book invites me to read, yet another poem

Good edition

Arrived on time and as advertised.
