Upside-down text

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2024

Just receive my order and it arrived a day early and externally looked good. Took the plastic off and upon opening the first book I find the text inside is upside down. It’s still usable, and if I put the dust jacket on upside down you don’t notice but still for how much these cost I expect better QC from the publisher. The other 2 books are correct. Can’t decide if I will return and hope the next set doesn’t have the same issue.

Make absolutely sure you got what you ordered

Finished volume 1 and was very happy only to find that instead of the box set including volume 2 it included another copy of volume 1 in a volume 2 dust cover. Given the time it takes to read these it was outside of the return window. Extreme disappointment cannot begin to describe my feeling.

Disappointing Quality-

Book 1 and book 3, the corners were damaged. The Slip case is not sturdy at all.

Book 1: had the Cover/Bookmark attached upside down to the words. Very poor quality control.

Will return for Refund, won't waste time trying this edition again.

Books arrived damaged & ripped

These books were purchased as a Christmas gift and arrived torn and the plastic was ripped as well. They were mailed in a box with nothing inside it to protect them. A very pricey purchase and very poor quality. Would like to return them

The outer case for the three books was damaged on the top and bottom. I would have expected something sturdier. I will be returning this and likely just buy the paperback versions until something better comes along...

Thin leaves; physically difficult to read

This would have been better off as 5 volumes with thicker paper. You can see through each page to the writing on the other side, making it extremely difficult to read.

Print on demand book?

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2018

Do not buy this, unless you are prepared to examine closely every page and see if they are all there. Having read part, I set mine aside for awhile. Picking it up again, continued reading, only to find that they had duplicated, and repeated part of what I had already read! Too late to return, that's $240 down the toilet. DO NOT BUY! DO NOT BUY!
