I would not classify this as a paperback book. It is more of a phamplet...the type you normally receive for free. This one was so small that I almost threw it out with the other paperwork within the package. The price should be much cheaper for this kind of item.

I'm glad I only spent a few bucks on the Kindle version. Poorly written, many pages have less then a few sentences, one page only has 5 lines in large font. I wont get started on the grade school level images. Save your dough and spend it on a better quality book. Since there were only a few reviews, I took a chance and lost out.

This book or as said by anther review a pamphlet, either or it's pathetic

I have returned my last two purchases from you; Both are junk. The Bridge game was not a Bridge game but the cd was songs I would never play. The pamphlet was totally trite and silly. Amazon, where is your shame for selling this junk?
