Overall, I'm very pleased with what I got, especially for the price at which I bought it. I basically got three operas for the price I would normally pay for one. This is overall a good edition, with both the original Italian and and the English translation above it. There is a short synopsis before each opera. Occasionally the print looks a little splotchy, and there are a few spots where the syllables don't line up with the notes to which they correspond. Also, the English "translation" is very loose, but serves its purpose. Again though, overall I'm pleased and none of the imperfections get in the way of performance.
