Review:

Now, thanks to Octavo, anyone with a computer can enjoy priceless works. -- Time, April 5, 1999

Octavo editions give readers a firsthand experience of a milestone text: each includes page-by-page views, expert commentaries, and appropriate "marginalia." -- University of Chicago Magazine, October 2004

There are no cookie-cutter regimens they follow in their editions. Octavo explores each work and decides how to embellish it. --Fine Books & Collections, September/October 2004 (cover story)
