Just got back from Kinokuniya KLCC. Both the US and UK hardcover versions are available, RM98.80. At Kino, it's 20% with purchase of another item, or 25% if you're a member.




Going to Amsterdam tonight, so I'll have plenty of time to spare to savour this book. I prefer the US cover with that side profile of Dante Alighieri, but the UK version has illustration of the seven circles of hell at the back. I needed a copy to abuse and a copy to keep pristine so got myself one of each. Now to look for that reading gloves of mine. I'm a bit picky about finger oils tainting, smudging and wrinkling the pages of the books in my collection.

For illustration, you need to get the illustrated edition of Dante's Divine Comedy. Really graphic detailed illustrations. The cover I got for that illustrated Edition of Divine Comedy is red in color. Illustrated by Gustave Dore.
