Doesn't look to be simplified. The signets ive had experience with are the Shakespeare ones and I don't like the size and covers of them. They just feel cheap.

signet classics does a great job with shakespeare

convenient size, good font, good annotation, and they hold up just fine over multiple re-readings—my copy of the sonnets has been thoroughly beaten and it's still fine.e.

there's no better option for shakespeare if you're just starting out. grab ten or twenty of them, and whenever you don't know what to read just pick up one at random. You should be able to read a full play in a day without any rush. if you take transit you can just carry it with you in your pocket and read it on the bus or whatever.

I don't know much about them outside of shakespeare.

it'd say simplified if it were. does it?
