Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This 100th Anniversary Edition is just what it purports to be: a republishing of the original work, with original cover art. What the displeased readers below don't seem to realize is that the typos and lack of proofreading are part of the TRUTH about how this book was originally treated/printed. It was neither respected nor expected to do well (although the publishers -- and the author -- were quickly proven to have underestimated the gem that is Anne). If you're looking for a modern treatment of this classic story, with every "t" crossed and "i" dotted, then this is not the edition for you. If you're interested in imagining Maud Montgomery's true feelings, as she read her first printed novel, both her thrill at its mere publication and her resigned displeasure at the typos and misspellings, then this edition offers you a glimpse at the real condition of Anne's first publication, 100 years ago.
