THIS BOOK IS MIS-REPRESENTED..MY COPY ARRIVED YESTERDAY AND IT IS A SLIM PAMPHLET, NOT A BOOK, A SCANNED COPY OF THE "SUPPLIMENT" OF THE ABOVE TOUTED BOOK, THE INTERIOR TITLE OF THE ACTUAL WORK READS: "ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS" TO THE PIONEERS OF MASSACHUSETTS". THIS BROCHURE CONSISTS OF ONLY TWELVE [THATS RIGHT TWELVE] PAGES OF TEXT PLUS ORIGINAL BOOK'S INDEX.

OH, AND THE MATERIAL IS IN PUBLIC DOMAIN, SO ALL PROFITS GO TO THE UN-NAMED PUBLISHERS.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, I AM RETURNING IT TO AMAZON, TODAY

This is a pamphlet, and the "view inside" is of a book with more than 530 pages. This was printed in 2010, the one you think you are purchasing was printed in 1900. I am returning this product.

A waste of money as far as I'm concerned. Product arrived well packaged and promptly - but doesn't appear to be what was advertised - IMHO.

I just received my copy of this book and was very disappointed to find out that despite the title it was only a supplement of additions and corrections to the original book. I had looked at the preview pages before ordering but apparently they come from a different publication than this one. After discounting the blank and unreadable pages, there are about a dozen pages of information. I am in the process of returning this book and will pay more attention to prior reviews the next time I order!

same comment as other reviewers:
I just received my copy of this book and was very disappointed to find out that despite the title it was only a supplement of additions and corrections to the original book and not a true book but more of a pamphlet. I had looked at the preview pages before ordering but apparently they come from the original publication which this has taken the title from. After discounting the blank and unreadable pages, there are 13pages of information including the index. I am in the process of returning this book and will pay more attention to prior reviews the next time I order! this should have been in the hundreds of pages not under 20. Wish I could have given it ZERO stars.
