    The Federalist Papers
    Can anyone recommend a good edition of The Federalist Papers? The reviews on Amazon have several comments about typos, inferior editing, run-together words, tiny print, etc.

    Have you tried the pdf versions Athos? Found this free version though and many other choices from various publishing houses. I prefer pdfs myself, got an android?

    Thanks, Tal - that pdf is a great source for looking up specifics as necessary. I missed it when searching the net.

    I'm still looking for an actual book with actual pages that I can actually turn with my actual hands.

    Thanks again.

    Call your local library for an interlibrary loan -- or do you want to PURCHASE this?

    Thanks Info - the 1-star reviews are devastating, the 5-star mixed. I don't think every review (on Amazon - same ISBN #) is the same version/publisher. This edition apparently was made for kindle - I don't know what to make of that.

    Amazon sometimes puts all reviews on all editions/versions of a book.

    Some of the 5-stars are outstanding so I may go with this one. Barnes and Noble had no reviews.

    The same ISBN on Amazon is not the same book as Barnes and Noble.

    The description says 500+ pages and complete 85 articles. The one on Amazon (same ISBN) says synopsis on the arguments and 18 complete essays.
