Revised review ive long owned the paperback version of the signet classics edition
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I originally rated this kindle edition 1star because it appeared to be missing the prologue written by rustichello polos scribe that is contained in the paperback version
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
This would have been a grave omission since the prologue contains the story of how the polos came to china and returned
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
However i just discovered it does indeed contain the prologue
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
It is just not listed in the kindle table of contents like it is in the paperback
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
While you cannot navigate to the prologue from the table of contents you can still get there by flipping through all the pages of the editors introduction

Its tucked away at location 517
