26.7 x 19.1 cm, 1290g, no ISBN

Takes the entire text of Coghill’s famous translation for Penguin Books, and prints it on high-quality paper with contemporary illustrations.  The book is then properly bound in a sewn binding into a decorated cloth (not paper) case.  Now out of print and, one would have thought, very unlikely ever to be reprinted in this form.

You can buy the plain text, without illustrations, in a Penguin paperback for £8.99 if you really want to.
