The Epic of Gilgamesh

I bought this as a gift for someone and it’s gorgeous in person. I haven’t personally read it, but the recipient is a lover of The Epic of Gilgamesh, and this looks beautiful on their shelf

Surprisingly small book, but great quality materials. Good read.

I was so excited to receive this book new and in hardcover cheaper than the paperbacks at the bookstore. this ancient tale is a fun read, I am happy to add it to my collection.It is composed beautifully for any library it is a gem, though the picture wasn't what I received in the mail. In fact I was happier because it was a black cover and I think it looks better that way.

Another wonderful, well constructed, hardback book for my collection. Whenever I review hardbacks, I always state that I purchase only classics in hardback and that I still own a Kindle. Easy to read letters that are large and dark, but not too large. I do like that. Fun book to read in the evenings before bed to get your mind off things. Not a large book, but one that teaches life lessons. I don't think I would have wanted to be close to Gilgamesh as he seemed like the typical, restless showoff, yet he is a timeless historical figure nonetheless.

This is essentially a typical college copy of Gilgamesh, penned by N.K. Sanders, and even featuring the same printing error I’ve seen on mass-produced paperbacks, on pages 37 and 65. It’s a good gift for a fan of the story, or someone who prefers hardbacks, but if you’re just looking for a copy, I wouldn’t recommend it

1000 years older than Genesis. Unbelievable! This book has a great introduction and is high quality. I highlight throughout mine and it doesn't bleed through the pages. I also found an audio book on youtube that is almost word for word.. which makes for a great additional resource.

One of the most important book I have. To read from first to last word.

Great book with a great forward, highly recommend this edition
