Editorial Review of Annotated Ancient Mariner: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Samuel Taylor Coleridge's greatest work, THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER, is utterly unique, unlike any other ballad. No narrative poem has rivaled it in combining scenes of terror with scenes of incomparable beauty. Although enormously popular in the nineteenth century, it is seldom read or studied today. This annotated version by Martin Gardner will help to renew our appreciation for and deepen our understanding of Coleridge's neglected masterpiece.

Review Summary: Lift your game
Review: i looked very forward to recieving this great book which in itself is great however I am immensely disappointed with the somewhat shabby treatment from Amazon.Upon recieving the book I found the 7/8 page moderately creased and bent,it appears through poor handling. I took this up with Amazon several weeks ago and still await their reply,you profess great service Amazon but fell a long way short here.

Review Summary: A Beautiful Book!
Review: As well as the titular annotations this large book includes full-page reproductions of Doré's woodcuts and the older version of the poem. The typography and layout imitate that of the period.
You can read both versions of The Ancient Mariner online, of course; but this is not a book for first encounters. It is a book for a reader who has come to love and admire the poem, and wants to own an aesthetic object that is worthy of it.
A beautiful presentation of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

Review Summary: An excellent book!
Review: This is well worth having, not only because of the fine annotations but also the wonderful illustrations. Some annotations, for me, seem to get in the way of reading the textl; in this volume, the annotation serves as a wonderful supplemental guide to the text. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Review Summary: Exhaustive "Rime"
Review: This is a very exhaustive presentation of the Rime. One heads up, though . . . this edition is not uniform in appearance and size with the other books in the "Annotated" series (i.e. The Annotated Alice, the Annotated Huckleberry Finn). It is larger and has a glossy cover.
