Interesting.  Not much actual plot.  And there is no resolution.  It just ends.

    Reviewing the Kindle edition of The Tale of Genji by Seidensticker via the University of Adelaide
  

*by H***G on Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2018*

I have the Knopf first edition hard copy of this book and the Kindle edition as labeled with the University of Adelaide cover is textually complete with respect to this edition. The chapter text is complete and no chapters from the print edition have been removed. However, all of the introductory material, all the appendices, and all notes have been removed. The illustrations have been replaced with Wikipedia Commons versions of scans of the earliest complete set of paintings for each chapter. My main disappointment with this edition is not the missing material but the errors introduced by the scanning team. There are enough errors to be distracting even though many would have been caught by a spelling checker. There are also some formatting errors that make following the text harder than it should be but thankfully they are few.If you are interested in a complete standalone Kindle book of The Tale of Genji, the available Royall Tyler or Dennis Washburn translations are complete with respect to their printed editions including illustrations, front matter, notes, and appendices. They also have no obvious transcription errors going from the printed to Kindle editions. This Kindle edition is most suited for someone who specifically needs a Kindle edition of the complete Seidensticker translation and does not need any of the extra material to understand or follow the plot or the poetry.

    Great book, great seller
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2019*

Thanks, GlassFrogBooks, for the quick shipping and superb wrapping of my book, which I had been searching for a while to find. I wanted a second copy of this out of print classic for reading. I will definitely look you back up if I need more things for my library. Thanks
