Reviews
After being spoiled by Amazon book shopping (I never fully transitioned to e-books, and considering where this country and its digital market conditions are moving, I think I am going to be grateful for this by the end, especially considering gaming companies and Amazon itself are deactivating previous models of e-book readers and games that customers believed they were buying to actually own digitally), so ordering direct from publishers always made me expect a long wait. Clemens & Blair, although they made it known up front that some volumes are sometimes print-to-order and might take a few weeks), got my BEAUTIFULLY printed and bound hardcover of the newest, complete edition of Thomas Dalton's translation of Hitler's Mein Kampf literally within a week. They packaged it defensively too, so even though my bonehead mailman stuffed my book into my mailbox in a space it didn't quite fit in, there was zero damage to the hardcover itself, which I am babying because it's such a hard-to-find text and edition (and not exactly cheap). For a hardcover edition that contains both of the volumes of Hitler's work, I was expecting it to basically be the same price as buying the two volumes separately. It wasn't, and it wasn't outrageously priced when compared to the paperback. An extra $10-15 can get you a deluxe hardcover of most of their works that will last decades longer than a paperback (even if you baby a paperback and read it carefully, a paperback just sitting on the shelf for 20 years will rot away-- it's literaly held together by a bit of thin posterboard and some glue). For the rare books like those printed by Clemens & Blair, the hardcovers are the way to go. You're already paying $25-$35 for a book-- you might as well spend the extra $10-15 to get a copy that will last you many more years. VERY happy with buying directly from Clemens & Blair and already have a wishlist of future purchases after I've gotten through this stack of many of their other volumes from distributors.
Gratitude and admiration to Mr Dalton and C&B for publishing , the scrutiny deserves a thank you . Amazing Literature I can relate to as a poor white kid who grew up in some of the most putrid parts of Toledo and Detroit . It would be great if Mr Dalton would look into the purple gang of Detroit and its Jewish origins and money trail , it would be a great link to why Ford wrote the international Jew . Thanks again. Shipping was also fast 5 days and it was at my home .
Superb. This is, in my view, the best English translation available. Dalton is a legend, and his introduction is brilliant. One of its strengths is that Hitler is approached neutrally as a historical figure rather than reduced to the raving caricature so often presented elsewhere.
The only real let-down is the cover. The hardback dust jacket seems poorly printed compared with the quality of the book itself — blurry and noticeably low-resolution in places. That may simply be a quality-control issue.
More importantly, I question the cover design itself. This is the authoritative English edition, and the design should reflect that. A bold red, white and black colour scheme, a large, imposing title, and the eagle and swastika placed prominently at the centre would have given it the visual impact and period identity it deserves.
Given the significance and quality of the edition inside, the current cover feels like a missed opportunity.
This is easy to sort, and future editions should incorporate a new cover. The content itself can remain unchanged.
Not an easy book to find. Even harder to find a version that is willing to talk about the author (Hitler) without bias. Understanding the most influential person of the last two centuries is critically important to forming a coherent worldview. So I appreciate that the author/translator is not operating with an agenda. Hitler was far from a perfect person but if his ideas were pure rubbish then he would not have been as impactful as he was and continues to be. Dalton doesn’t reduce Hitler to the caricature that we have been force fed since elementary school.
Fantastic book. Great explanation in the beginning and well written with a very good translation. Excellent quality book, I chose the soft cover, very good construction. I regret not paying the extra and buying a hardcover however. That would be my recommendation.
