Gigantic book. Thicker than all of my textbooks. Tons of footnotes and appendixes. Must be great for the money, for the amount of content it contains. Sometimes I wonder why, am I even buying this, for I won't have the patience to read it. Really I mean if you like to read and got the patience this is got to be a good book, with all the details, maps, everything.

This version is amazing

I love this translation with the extensive maps and footnotes located on the page. I don't have to flip back and forth to find each one. It includes summaries in the page margins and it makes reading Herodotus so much clearer.
