The vintage edidion...pictures do make a difference. The vintage edidion of Alice in wonderland I bought from you had good pen drawings. My sister compared the "anna" book I bought from you to the translation I had and could immediately spot the copy that had ALL the drawings. The copy with fewer drawings (..by same artist.) (Shame on you, daft publisher. Save a penny, waste a joy.) was noticably less in mindframe building. A good picture (drawing) is worth a thousand words they say, but in a book like Alice in wonderland (or Flynn's Anna) it can augment the feel. The tale is the same, the experience isn't. (Still wonder what mimsy means.) Kind regards, Jaak.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
