I purchased this collection and I am very satisfied. As with everything Delphi publishes, this is no exception---it's excellent. Delphi puts a lot of effort into its releases. I enjoyed the pictures and illustrations included. I also like the biographical and basic information that preclude each text. I have no issues with the texts themselves---they are formatted beautifully and I can find no errors. Stevenson is a great writer and his works appeal to a wide variety of audiences. This is an all-encompassing collection, too, which is important to mention---Stevenson didn't just write novels like Treasure Island and Jekyll & Hyde. He also wrote short stories, poetry, plays, travel essays, and nonfiction essays. He was one of the most prolific writers of his time. The included biographies are a plus, and it really shows how dedicated Delphi is to producing a perfect, comprehensive collection. Every work is easy to access with an active Table of Contents, which is something that many public domain collections DON'T have. If you like Stevenson, purchase this volume. If you're on the fence about which Stevenson collection to buy, take my word for it and buy this one. It's well worth the $2.99, if only for having a great version of Treasure Island on your Kindle. Keep up the great work, Delphi!
