Review: Best - One of the best book I have ever read. I'm not only giving it 5 star for it's content but also for his cover and paper quality. There are many books at the same price whose paper quality is very poor, but the quality of this book is great. In one word Philosophy 101 is excellent choice. Review: Succinct and clear. - Succinct descriptions about all major philosophers. Not a great read if you are looking for something elaborate. Great if you want a vertical overview, not for horizontally delving deep into philosophy and understanding .

Wrong information on first page
The first page mentions the period of Greek philosophers as fifth and sixth centuries, it should be BC. Haven't yet read the whole book but hope there is no wrong information in the following pages.

Good but not really a hardcover
Its a good book but the quality is not the same as the pictures. Its not really a hard cover and the print is messy on the cover and on some pages its faded a bit.

Cool!
Book is mini and I had expected a bigger annual style one, however it’s very cute and full of information. My sister loved them as a gift - great stocking fillers

Exceptionally well done.
From the introduction to the the Stephanus numbers, this book is very well organized. It contains references to more reading and provides easy interpretations. I would recommend this book above all others. I had another version of The Republic on kindle but found it much less useful.
