The content of the book is great. It covers everything most medievally suitable for good government. De Regno (On Kingship) is an amazing book written by an amazing man, an Italian, from the Kingdom of Sicily, named Thomas de Aquino (Thomas Aquinas to we English-speakers). While I say that every topic in here covers how a medieval monarchy works, it's not that which places this book at three stars. If it were up to me, anything with Saint Thomas Aquinas' name on should automatically carry the five stars, but here, unfortunately I can't. You see, for a cheap book, you get cheap quality. And Thomas Aquinas is no cheap man. But that's not his fault, rather the fault of the consumer.This book carries a lot of typos. But that's what you get for almost $5. The typos were so distracting that you just couldn't enjoy this magnificent book. And thanks be to God for this book! Ahh, St. Thomas...sadly, and begrudgingly, if you want quality, you have to pay for it. And if you pay little, you get little quality, and if you pay more, you pay for more quality. That's the way of the world I suppose.If you want something with more quality, try On Kingship. It costs a little more, like $15 more but that's how it is.If you want to understand more of the content itself, well, I'll try and hardline it for you as briefly as I can.A king is like a captain of a boat,He goes with the wind,Not against it.The captain has to care for his sailors.Ensure that everyone is doing their jobsAnd no abuses, acts of piracy and immoralitytake place. Discipline has to remain.
