6:30 the story has it's own page because this is the only full length novel he ever wrote. So it's seperated from his stories
I own this same book & I absolutely *LOVE* it!
It has the total 💯 gothic “Edgar Allan Poe” feel to it. I love the leather binding, the front & back cover, & the overall layout of the book.
It’s a nice, detailed & heavy book.
Unlike some “Complete” publications, this one *IS* actually a “Complete Tales & Poems of Edgar Allan Poe.” It has every single known & published work of Edgar Allan Poe, including his novel, which towards the end of the book. “The Masque of the Red Death,” “The Tell-Tale Heart,” & “Annabel Lee” are my favorites. Of course I love The Raven, but everybody does. Even non-Edgar Allan Poe fans love The Raven.
*_Edgar Allan Poe is one of my favorite American writers/poets of all time & he always will be._*
Does it include his incomplete works like “the lighthouse” or “the journal of sir julius Rodman”?
Thanks for the amazing review! The book is flying my way as we speak! Can't wait to read it :)
Thanks for this! I've just bought some more classic works for my collection (Sherlock Holmes, Austen and Shakespeare), and I thought I'd like to get a Poe collection next. This edition caught my eye. Now I feel for sure it's the one. Can't wait to read it!
@@FoolishFishBooks Oh, actually the Austen I have is the MacMillan Collector's Library set. They are more of a pocket edition, so not for everyone. But I don't have a problem with smaller text, and they are quite lovely!
@@FoolishFishBooks Yes, that description sounds correct. They are clothbound, and also have gilt edges and ribbon bookmarks.
Awesome! Thank you!!! I'm a huge fan of Poe's works and I've read many of them in my language. Now it's time to try to read Poe in English as it should be read, especially his poetry.
Yeees
That’s interesting that you first read him in another language. What language did you first experience his work? Curious to see if there are differences in translations, slight of course if any.
Wow that is so pretty. You also give us a full detailed look of it. And yeah I'm not also the fan of the cover but still it's pretty. ❤️
Looks real nice! Getting it for sure if and when I can find it in a store.
Thanks for the detailed look, Denis. I was looking to buy the cheaper other version by Barnes and Noble but agree with you about the cover and spine artwork here being preferable, though that it not a massive consideration it would swing it for me.
A brilliant and helpful review, indeed! Thank you.
I think this version is beautiful all around
I have the same Edgar Allen Poe book it is gorgeous
Does it include his incomplete stories like the lighthouse?
Is the binding sewn?
No, glued, but very flexible paper, so no cracking issues after 7 years (so far)
Gotta get this one!
I'm looking for a collection of everything he ever wrote, printed by one publisher, including the articles/essays written for periodicals like Godey's Lady's Book. So far I haven't had any luck. Assembling such a collection piecemeal is onerous. Thanks for this review!
What do you think of the silver-edged pages? I’m a little bothered by the glitter on the edges, as it rubs off onto my hands.
Thank you for this great review, I love Edgar Allan Poe, he is absolutely my all time favorite writer! I was about to order it from amazon but I wanted to make sure that it covers all Edgar Allan Poe’s poems and tales and that it’s a good quality, I’m for sure going to order it now!
Thing is it only has poems from what I heard. But id still buy it
@@FoolishFishBooks He really is the greatest of all times! Like da Vinci but in literature. His writing is absolutely amazing, although takes some time to undestand his thinking and the meaning of words because he also uses archaic too. Some stories are easier but some others really need 2 or 3 times reading to understand to its fullest. Plus he was a pioneer in genres, with his finest work Eureka. I'm from Greece and i'm so fascinated about how much he liked and studied the ancient Greeks, Plato mostly...like another one did, H.P. Lovecraft. Those two are my top favorite writers :)
Alone _ see it
Are these real leather? I want to know what I'm buying is not the cause of a being's death
No. Definitely not at this price.
I've got the Canterbury Leather Bound Calssic of Poes Collected Works on the way in the mail now, it will arrive at my door by 3pm. I cannot wait to dive into it!!!
As always, Denis, a brilliant review. I got my Complete Sherlock Holmes right after watching your video on that one and I intend to get one of these as well. I have one question regarding the 'sticker': Is there any chance of it like getting peeled off over time? Could you please clarify? Thank you.
is the book glued or swen?
Glued
What a Beautiful Edition(s)!
Wonderful Collection! 😍
Great overview, thank you.
Thanks for the review of the book enjoyed watching the video
Yup, getting this.
Are some of his stories missing from the Barnes and Noble edition because I planing of buying the collection with all his work in it
@@FoolishFishBooks so nice
I dont think so
It doesn’t include his incomplete works like ‘the journal of julius rodman’ or ‘the lighthouse’.
Is this real leather?
no. bonded leather.
@@FoolishFishBooks Thanks so much ☺️
I also prefer this cover older the older version
I have one question does it include the cask of amontillado
Yes
Is there a collection for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's other works outside Sherlock Holmes?
Not in B&N Collector's edition.
Am I better off reading an edition like the one from this video or the Castle Edition? Which ones better? They're both entitled 'the complete Tales of Edgar Allan Poe'.
Personal preference... It's the same content.
Same inside diffrent covers and exterior
Gonna order it. As far as you're aware, are there any poems or stories that are excluded? Seems to be complete as the title suggests.
All the stories and poems he ever wrote are in here in their final form (the only way it might be considered 'incomplete' is that there are no early drafts).
Let me be cheeky and point out that ordering through the links in the description helps me out with no difference to you... 😉👍
I got it awhile ago and it's amazing all except the binding is glued. Just from opening it it's coming undone. Need to get the Easton press one with a stiched binding. Hundred something $$$s though.
Any links or ideas on how I can get that Sherlock Holmes collection ?
I always put links in the descriptions of my videos. For the SH link, just visit the Sherlock video and find the description.
Foolish Fish awesome, thanks!
I am so angry! I bought this book for my friend and when you opened the book the pages were upside down and backwards! Really disappointing. :(
Oh no! How disappointing! This is actually the first time anyone has reported anything like that... I supposed anomalies can't be completely avoided, but a crying shame it had to happen to you... How frustrating!
Keep it!
One day the misprint might be worth something.
Its a silly mess up but one i wouldnt mind having
To me thats lucky
@@Jaguar13.exe. yes I kept it and got a different copy for my friend. 😂😊
Try flipping the book over...
I don’t want to be rude, but you do make way too many lip sounds between words. If you’ve never heard of the sensory condition known as Misophonia, it’s when some people are highly sensitive to certain sounds, such as chewing or pencil tapping or any kind of weird, wet or repetitive sounds. Coupled with OCD and Tourette syndrome, it’s not pretty and it was all I could do to finish the video because I’m interested in getting into Poe’s work.
So maybe consider being aware of the sounds you’re ignorant of, because not everyone enjoys having to listen to so many mouth sounds, and unfortunately, some of us have misophonia so bad to the point where we can’t even socialize with our fellow humans.
Tell me five years ago? You're talking to a creator who has made over a thousand videos since this one, I think this was like my second or third video ever... I assure you, I know about the mouth sounds 😂🙏
I bought this edition. I don’t like it all that much.
First of all, it does not contain the work that I most was looking for when I purchased it. Edgar Allan Poe’s last work: The Lighthouse. I don’t care if it was never finished (though some have speculated it’s abrupt ending is evidence of the death of the narrator and it is, in fact, complete). It also does not include The Journal of Julius Rodman. If works such as these are not included, then this volume cannot call itself “THE COMPLETE TALES AND POEMS of Edgar Allan Poe”.
Also, there are frequent (and I truly mean frequent) occasions where it is simply wrong. I read it along with audiobooks, and upon encountering a mistake, I figure it must be those of the readers. Then I read it along with a different audiobook. The same error occurs. Another audiobook, another instance of the mistake. It happened so many times that I could no longer conclude it was the readers in the wrong, but this book. For example, in this edition’s transcription of The Raven, the words run thus “But the silence was unbroken, and the *darkness* gave no token” and in every other transcription, performance, or reading of The Raven, the words run thus “But the silence was unbroken, and the *stillness* gave no token”. Putting the word “darkness” in place of the word “stillness” is simply wrong. And for an error like this to occur in EAP’s most famous poem is simply unacceptable. I encounter errors such as these frequently in this book. In every other short (or, at least, very nearly every one) I have found this edition omits, inserts, or changes words. Sometimes, even entire sentences are omitted or inserted. If the works are not as he wrote them, then this volume cannot call itself “The Complete Tales and Poems OF EDGAR ALLAN POE”
I believe the Library of America edition has all of the incomplete works.
