好像是减缩版的。全文基本都能读懂，相较于其他英文版的书籍，可以说是相当简单了。纸张也很不错，印刷也很好。是本好书！以前的时候就看过根据这本书改编的电影，真的很喜欢乔！家里已经有三个版本的《小妇人》了，这次又买了一个全英文版本的，想来以后还是要在买一本原版的。世界名著，经过了长久的时间洗礼，是文化的积淀，值得收藏！
这本书是小妇人的简略版，Ineasy-to-readType.更适合中学生阅读，虽然是英文原版书籍，但印刷质量一般，纸张比较粗糙，字体偏小，没有什么特别之处。唯一的好处是轻薄，内容有插图，适合做小孩的床头读物。个人感觉是不推荐这本书，如果想看完整的小说，可以买其他的版本。从这本书的质量也可见原版书不一定就比国内的书质量好，而且价格不便宜。原价是2美元，但当当的标价是20RMB，觉得有些不值。
我记得我的同学看的原版很厚的呢，这个内容好少啊
