Hardback beautifully bound and presented
I am delighted I bought this book, it is my first introduction to Euclid and a pleasure to read. The print and layout are excellent, and diagrams are always on the same page as the text that refers to them so there is no need to be flicking pages back and forth like with so many maths books.As discussed in the Editor's Preface, great care has been taken to be true to Euclid's original work, with interpolations and other additions clearly separated where suspected or known.

If you're going to buy the Elements get this edition
A must have for any maths student or enthusiastThis edition of Euclid's Elements is greatIt uses Heath's translation which is extremely accurate to Euclid's original, without extensive revisions and additions in other translations, and the diagrams are really clear, not too small or cramped, and are repeated if the proposition goes over the page, something a lot of editions don't doThe book itself feels really good quality and as though it would last a lifetimeIf you're going to buy the Element's get this edition

Para ser un libro escrito hace más de 2000 años, la traducción, y la presentación son inmejorables

Fun to read.
This book helps you see how people thought so many years ago, and there are quite a few things to apply to today's world from back then. The book is well made and easy to turn the pages. Love it.

One word: Perfect
QUALITY:Impressed with the print and paper quality which is necessary for a book that is collectible and requires multiple readings.The size and dimensions are perfect for this edition considering how they condensed 13 volumes into one single book.PRICE:I got this book for Rs: 1,720/-, seems like a lot but considering the price on other editions and comparing the translations it's worth the price.NITPICKING:"Where is Euclid?""Right there.""....but it's just his hand."If there is one thing that slightly bothers me about this edition, it is that you can only see Euclid's hand tracing a shape with calipers but not his entire figure. The young man in blue robes is a pupil of Euclid, not Euclid himself. I included the original bottom right section from Raphel's masterpiece "The School of Athens". Maybe they intend to see yourself on the cover as the man in blue and Euclid is the book itself.I know... I'm just nitpicking, but that's what you do when you love something so much. The good thing is that they included Raphael's painting and that is good enough.
