The only drawback is that they chose to use the Kennedy translations of the poems, but then most of us aren't interested in the translations. Reasonable price too... regularly £50 (49.99). I'm buying this one when I get home.
Is the choice of translation possibly influenced by copyright/IPR issues? Or perhaps it was easier to use something from OUP?
But, as you said, the translations are not the part most of us will be interested in.
