  Eco - Review of Folio Society's "Name of the Rose"
Universally regarded as a modern masterpiece, The Name of the Rose has already earned the status of "classic," and though published in 1980, Harcourt Brace still keeps a hardcover edition in print.
Although this is unusual, it's not entirely surprising -- of the few novels published in the last few decades to merit a perpetual hardcover edition, The Name of the Rose belongs next to such works as One Hundred Years of Solitude and Gravity's Rainbow.
A book about books, Rose evokes the weight of ancient libraries, of illuminated texts bound in exotic leathers and inscribed with maps and legends; indeed, only a hardcover seems truly capable of supporting its labyrinthine prose and sheer density of ideas.
