This type of Book is good for...
This is a great classic, this version is meant for the student studying early modern english literature. There are many notes on the text to guide the reader through the story. Notes are all at the end of the book and so do not "take over" the text as it is being read.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
Read more of Swift's work and other early modern authors.
This Book made me feel...

I recommend this Book because...
