It is possible to piece together the Loeb books with these 2-- since the earliest editions are out of copyright. I ordered these 2 mainly out of curiosity to see how a reprint compares with an actual Loeb, and I am pleased. Although vols 1 and 2 don't match, they are both sturdily bound paperbacks and have a far larger print. Vol 1 has a few scan artifacts and markings, but nothing that obscures any text that I saw, and vol 2 is flawless. You won't save any money over the Loeb books, but if these books are actually for reading and not just to make your Loeb collection look more impressive on the bookshelf I recommend these over Loeb. The difference in readability really is even more dramatic than shown in the images.
