The whole text has been re-typeset, and the new printout is entirely unpaginated, so the original cross-references in the introduction are now useless. Also no information whatsoever on either the original publication or even this reprint! Since there were two editions (1905 and 1908), whoever released this new version should tell you which edition you're reading. Even the title is inaccurate. Originally, it was Book of Odes (Shi-king) by L. Cranmer-Byng. This version says The Book of Odes (Shijing) by Launcelot Cranmer-Byng.Readers should also be forewarned that Cranmer-Byng's translation is incomplete and has little scholarly or literary value.
**VERIFIED PURCHASE**:Im entirely surprised its slim; I thought the original poems wouldve appeared the ultimate in comprehensive; it seems to sit well enough for the page like any book that is considerably old; more slim than books that were written later; its from the seventh century b.c.e. and not from the tenth century which is just undeniably wrong. so; its a slim edition from the seventh century b.c.e.; not like the tenth century c.e. books which are entirely thick; a book of poems written for the style that people read because Shijing poems are poems.:I didnt notice any problems with the typing and spacing from the font from the page.
