2.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2021
The dialogues are what they are: perhaps the most important, foundational works in Western philosophy / culture. They deserve 10 stars on their own, but this copy is no credit to the material. The seller's blurb describes it as a 'new edition' despite the fact that it's simply a reprint of Benjamin Jowett's 1892 translation -- which is clearly noted in the publication information. I find it unconscionable that a seller would try and pass off a low-effort reprint of public domain translation, lacking any commentary at all, as something new. Also troubling is the fact that the cover design and title are a poor attempt to ape the superior penguin classics edition, but I might be reading a bit too much into the graphic design there.

If you've purchased much classic literature on Amazon, you've likely seen this before: sellers trying to make a quick buck by running a cheap print of something in the public domain. I used to find these tempting because the prices are so low, but if you're reading to understand the material and not just to have read it they will always let you down. Just my two cents, but you're invariably better off going for the nearest equivalent published by Penguin/Oxford/Hackett/etc.. The print quality, modern translation (translations really do keep getting better as scholarship advances), and often indispensable commentary will fully justify the higher price tag. And with dialogues this good, you'll want a worthy copy on your shelf so you can come back to it again and again.

Note that I have not purchased this edition (though I have read these dialogues elsewhere). I know it's tacky to review a product without purchasing, but a) perusing the free sample made it painfully obvious what sort of edition this is, and b) no other reviews had really dug into that, so I felt like someone had to point it out.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hard to read
Reviewed in Canada on January 6, 2021

The stilted translation and especially the lack of quotations made the dialogue near unreadable. Most of the book is comprised of dialogue so this a major problem.
