Skazki Pushkina - Сказки Пушкина (Russian Edition)

The first copy I received of this book was damaged due to poor packaging. Amazon has excellent customer service and quickly sent me another one ASAP. The second one was perfect. The book itself is nice. The book appears to be printed when you order it. The paper quality isn’t the best, but it’s ok. The illustrations’ colors are a bit muted, but overall for what you pay, it’s not bad at all.

It is a\great for family and learning traditional culture. It has all the traditional drawings as well.

I have difficulty with the way the letters are printed. I ask myself, as I struggle with the text, is this a be, a ve or a ka? I think that this is not how Russian was printed in the 19th or the 20th centuries.

Amazing Russian children's book for a decent price! Great print quality. Written in Russian - no English translation. Great for parents who want to pass on their culture to their children

OK, so I've read the reviews and kind of expected a book of poor quality. Still, I wanted to read the fairy tales in russian to my kids, so I ordered it. The paper is like that of coloring books, unpleasant to the touch and easily ripped. The color balance is terrible. And the print font is a bit imposing. The print font would not be so terrible if the paper wasn't see through, thus you are not only attempting to read gothic print, but you also have to contend with the shadows of the letters from the other side of the page. Apparently, this book is "print-on-demand" and it shows. I ordered it on Feb 4th, the page on the back says that it was printed on Feb 5th, 2013. I received it on Feb 7th, 2013. So, the quality is sacrificed for the ability to print the book after it is ordered. Still, a week later I went into Philadelphia for something and took the time to stop at a russian bookseller. Found a very similar book there, for about the same price, but the quality of the paper was night and day. Glossy pages, vibrant colors, print type that is easy on the eyes. Just like a fairy tale book should be. By comparison, this one was severely lacking. You can tell that the pictures would be gorgeous if someone took the time to do the color balancing and printed it on better-than-coloring-book paper. It's a shame I spent the money on this book.

It is a great book but it is written only in Russian, so for my husband, who is Russian, loves to read the stories to our baby.

Хорошая книга, яркие иллюстрации!В содержании 6 любимых сказок, ребёнку всё понравилось.

Text very hard to read

The media could not be loaded.  La calidad de la impresión es excelente. Hermoso libro.

I bought it with the aim to improve my reading, and it hasn't disappointed me at all. It's a valuable tool in my language learning journey.

Consiglio questa opera della letteratura classica agli studenti della lingua russa. Io ne sono molto soddisfatto sia per i tempi di consegna,sia per l'ottimo imballaggio. Il libro soddisfa in pieno le mie aspettative.

The book made a very good gift
