Not a terrible criticism... for $2 it is absolutely great, especially for the essays.
Just be aware that there is actually a very large general index in the printed version that was meant to be used for serious study of the canon of literature.
Afficionados of this set (which essentially contains no 20th century work) should also check out Encylopedia Britannica's "Great Books of the Western World," from which the 102 Great Ideas (later 103, to include Equality) were derived. Both of these sets are well described by Wikipedia.
** I must say I am encouraged that there are over 2000 reviews for this collection. I didn't think there were that many people left in the world who cared about such wisdom from the ages. It is incredibly eye opening to realize that so much of what passes for "new" (in human nature, government, politics) was described hundreds or thousands of years ago. While Harvard Classics was published in 1909, the GBWW was published in a second edition in 1990, thus reflecting some important developments in psychology, the sciences, and feminisim. Thank you to whoever made this collection possible.
