Dover Thrift Editions?

While at the bookstore today I picked up a copy of "The Time Machine" put out by this company.

I know it says unabridged on the cover, but is it really unabridged? It just seems....thin. Will I get the full text of the novel or should I have just saved my 1.00 and bought the novel put out by one of the other companies?

Usually, they are unabridged. It's just really small type and shitty print quality...

and "the time machine" *is* pretty short. assuming it's Wells' one.

Dover books aren't great, because they're printed from old plates, iirc...

BUT

Dover music is superb. Lots of stuff for five or six quid that would cost three times that from a French music publisher (who are rip-off merchants). Lots of great Organ music published dirt cheap through Dover.
