About the same. the paper quality is that they are using literal coloring book pages with a grainy texture instead of the smooth pages Penguin Classics uses, and the books suck up humidity like a sponge, not that Penguin quality is good since it has a tendency to chaff, spike and erupt, although it won't have footnotes, appendixes, glossary that a Penguin will have, which I haven't read Anna Karenina but I'm guessing you'd want it mainly for all the French dialog he's going to use; and Wordsworth might either leave it untranslated. Your mileage, of course, may vary according to your temperament; I haven't seen egregious printing errors like I see on Bantam books. For me: the cover makes her look black and like they used black peoples makeup to color and decorate it.
