1.0 out of 5 stars
disappointed, January 6, 2008
This review is from: The Gift of the Magi (Hardcover)
This book's cover is beautiful but you cannot judge a book by it's cover! The content, of course, is the beautiful story written by O. Henry but the way it was printed, left a lot to be desired. The illustrations were okay but lacked in depth. For me they evoked very little and I was disppointed, personally speaking, that they were not in color. The printing and such looked like it had been done by a bunch of people who didn't know quite what they were doing. For example, the title page was horribly off-center. Compared with the other publishing of the story which you sell for about the same price with illustrations by Lisbeth Zwerger, this one is really a loser. Honestly, I was surprised that you would offer it--especially at about the same price.
