Beautiful edition of the book
I've read The Name of the Rose once before from the library and wanted a personal copy with big margins to take notes in. Came a little worse for wear than what I expected from a "good" condition rating. There was a large tear on the fold of the jacket that needs to be taped. Otherwise, the book itself is in great quality. Exactly what I look for in a used book—obviously not new but readable and special in its own way. Read full review

If you looking for some surf stories this book an't it.
Mystery. History,Plots with Subplots, Action, and a little Latin added in for good measure. I assure this is not the types of stories your local parish priest told you about! But its all in good fun, and makes you wonder when extremism clauses. I read this book when it first came out and decided to revisit it again. Wish I knew more about Latin!Read full review

interesting but tough slog
what can i say? I'm fascinated w the middle ages and learned a great deal. Well written. Had to have the key to it for the latin translations (lots of latin in the book). Plot complicated, hard to follow. So if u luv that period - read the book. If not, don't bother. by the way norman kantor, one of my favorite medievalists sez rose is one of the most realistic fictional descriptions of the period.Read full review
