4.0 out of 5 stars Espero que el contenido sea mejor que la impresión
Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on August 4, 2022
Sobre el contenido, aún no empiezo a leer el libro. Tengo pendientes unos 5 :( pero estoy seguro de que será muy bueno.
La razón de las 4 estrellas, es que el libro parece usado (ver la primera foto) ya que llegó sin celofán y trae algunos rayones que supongo son de la paquetería. Honestamente son contados los libros que me llegan en celofán, pero este es el primero que me llega un poquito maltratado.

En segundo y que es el título de mi reseña, la calidad de la impresión deja mucho que desear. La verdad la foto que le tomé no le hace justicia, ya que tomando en cuenta lo medio maltratado que llegó y la impresión: parece un libro pirata :(

Tengo más de 80 libros en mi colección y este es el primero que parece pirata. Mi primera experiencia agridulce. No lo voy a devolver, pero si dudaban en comprarlo o no, ya tienen una razón más para no hacerlo.
