Review: FOR LESS CASH THAN ONE BIG MAC AT McDONALD'S GET KINDLE VERSION all 37452 PAGES - PROS: 71 VOLUMES of books for less than five dollars on KINDLE.... I jumped at the bargain. Granted I may not get to read them all before I die, but Just one of these is worth what we are being charged for all 71. They loaded on my Kindle Fire Effortlessly. This volume is all in one big collection so you don't have 71 individual titles you have 71 sections of one HUGE Title which I totally prefer. I figure if these are encouraged at Harvard, why not give them a go. I've already have hard cover version of Ben Franklins biography in several book forms and now in the classics I also have it in Kindle form along with 70 other equally massive volumes, but being kindle without weight. Also being kindle I can read them anywhere I have access to desertcart with the desertcart Reader. LASTLY it appears that there is a ton of extra content too, like lecture notes even on the classics, AMAZING. CONS: Being so large I have yet to see an illustration, but I did buy for the reading this time not just for the pretty pictures. The other CON is that due to the size of the collection even KINDLE has it limits, I found myself bounced out of the collection from trying to jump around to fast. Best to wait a second or two longer before jumping to another place in the book. I'm sorry this review has only scratched the surface, but the keys to remember is that this HUGE COLLECTION is EASY TO NAVIGATE and offered at a very THRIFTY PRICE. Don't even think about it get it now for LESS THAN COST of a BIG MAC. It is overwhelming, yet I love it just the same. The perfect addition to my KINDLE Library. Yes I'd buy these again and recommend to a friend. If you have any questions leave them below and I'll do my best to answer or find you someone that can. Thank you.
Review: Comprehensive and Easy Navigation - While I have yet to make sure that every single page from the physical collection is present and accounted for, my cursory searching and errant prodding have yet to yield any issues in terms of fidelity with the original. This digital version of the collection gives you immediate access to so many of the classic works of philosophy, fiction, theology, history, and political science that serve as the foundation of "western" thought and civilization. If you want to familiarize yourself with the works included, here is the wiki page for this collection: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Classics . It should be noted again that this is a collection of "western" thought, and so includes limited perspective from regions of the world outside of Europe and North America. As another disclaimer: many of these works were originally written in a language other than english, and there are likely better translations out there for many of them. The translations that I have looked at so far run from sufficient to well done. There may certainly be some classical works of western thought that you may look for that are not found in this collection, but they will be few and far between (and that issue will likely never arise for anyone doing anything but the most esoteric reading of classic texts). Perhaps most importantly, this digital version is eminently useful. Every volume has a link in the table of contents. That link brings you to a table of contents for that volume, which contains links for the individual works in the volume. Those links then bring you to a table of contents for the individual works of the volume, complete with links for each section therein. Perhaps equally importantly, every table of contents has a link that returns you to mother table of contents from which you came- making navigating to specific works and then back much easier than many other digital collections allow, in a way that does not require one to use the "Go To" feature of the Kindle. If you are interested in having access to nearly all of the essential classics of "western" civilization for a ridiculously cheap price and with a surprising ease of navigation, I recommend this collection without reservation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stunning collection available at your fingertips
*by M***E on September 15, 2025*

This collection could keep me occupied for more than a decade. When I'm looking for something else to read I can always find something new in here. I am a big fan of western civilization and this is a wonderful, curated source of learning, complete with scholarly commentary. I gave it a 4 instead of 5 star because I believe that many of the original texts would have images pictures maps and these volumes are all text, hardly any graphics.
