The Original Argument: The Federalists' Audiobook

" I enjoyed reading the revised Papers themselves, but ultimately started skipping over Beck's commentary, as I'd rather just read the material and come to my own conclusions. I think it would be good to read this with the original document open next to it, so you can get a feel for the original language as well. I wish the person who did the actual revision of the Papers would just publish all of his work instead of just the few Beck chose and without the commentary. I would much rather make the decision myself of which ones are important or not important to read. "

" This has commentaries for many of the Federalist Papers and shows their relevance to modern current political trends. Though this is a good book, I prefer to read the Federalist Papers in the original.
