This is a review of the physical book, not the text
I can only assume that the other reviewers possess a different edition to the SB one presented here.
Otherwise surely they would have protested about its presentation.
The font size of the main text is that of footnotes, but the clincher is the width of the text. The
margins are so small that the length of each line is grossly disproportionate. The leading is also
totally inadequate.
I took this book from the postman, opened the package on the way back to the house, saw the text and
in response deposited it in the bin before re-entering the house.
The publishers should be utterly ashamed of themselves.

Terrible Reprint
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 March 2021Verified Purchase
The printing quality is amateur. The font size is simply too small, making it unattractive to read, with the text going to close to either edges of the page. Simply a terrible reprint and would advise others to look elsewhere in buying what is an incredible text which remains highly influential.

Print size far too small
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 February 2020Verified Purchase
The font size of this publisher's edition of Dewey's 'Democracy and Education' is far too small to read comfortably and is therefore of limited use. I would avoid buying this.

Education at the Heart of Democracy
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 February 2014Verified Purchase
It is hard to put down this book as it deals with two central twin concerns of modernity, namely education and democracy. Where education is emphasised as the core of society democracy most certainly emerges as the best system to safeguard our human rights.
