I got a copy of this, found it, well, maybe borrowed it from the school library and forgot to return it back in the late 70s or so. I later realized why they might not have cared that it wasn't returned- it was missing about 50 pages in the middle. So I never quite finished reading it until I got a complete copy a decade later. And then haven't read it again until I got this fine edition. I have seen several adaptations of the book, but most leave out the last bit about the battle of the hominids. I am quite enjoying this version, it is lavishly illustrated and looks great. There will be a more in-depth review on the podcast shortly, of both the book and the 1925 movie. Probably next year for the frikkin' 100th anniversary of the movie.
