2.0 out of 5 stars love this author - the publisher did a terrible job on printing, April 17, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Simon Brett is a terrific author and I have loved every one of his mysteries, so when I found this one available as a reprint edition, I ordered it. I was sadly disappointed to find that it is an iUniverse-printed book, and the formatting/printing is awful -- sloppy, extremely tiny type(unnecessarily so, considering the fact that it's a trade paperback and thus has plenty of room) and looks like it was done on a copier (dim). I have never returned a book before in my life, but I could only read a chapter of this one before I decided the type formatting was unbearably difficult to read. I wish very much that someone else was making Brett's books available for purchase (buying audio versions until I can find decent print ones). To top it off, the publisher even ignored a glaring error on the front cover -- has the main character's name as 'charles Paris' -- obviously the editors were relying on spellcheck and didn't observe that Charles is the person's first name. Ugh!
