What a gorgeous gift set, both in terms of literature and quality manufacturing! I read this story over 12 years ago in paperback form, and it changed the way I understood my life and the events that occurred, not to mention opening my mind up to the very real "signs and omens" along the way! Back then, I loaned the book to someone and never got it back, which of course is Providential! Recently, when I was craving the philosophical message of this book once again during a very stressful time in my life, I ordered this particular publication having no idea just how gorgeous this book and boxed sleeve was! This is a must have quality product with the right sized text, interesting author storyline, along with lovely drawings throughout. This handsome version of The Alchemist makes the story even more exceptional, as well as reminiscent of the early childhood joys gained in reading a new picture book from the school library, although with a tasteful, mature flair to it. It also includes a satin maroon book marker sewn into the book! This is one gift set that will be treasured for all time, no matter who the recipient is, including yourself! I actually ended up reading the book again and passed it along to a kindred spirit who needed this book as much as I did many years ago!Read full review
I bought the gift edition of this book for myslef. I have read Paolo Coehlo's The Alchemist twice already. I want to keep it on my permanent collection, as I am certain that I will re-read it again many times over. It is a beautifully written story about the pursiut of one's Personal Legend. An important tale for anyone ready to embark on the discovery of their own heart's desire in life!
This is a beautiful book in every way... A must read and this edition, with gorgeous illustrations, is a beautiful gift!
