1.0 out of 5 stars Condition below expected standard/damaged spine, no cover
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 10, 2019
The product was described as very good, in excellent condition and with undamaged spine. I have received a book without a cover and a severely damaged spine, needing a new binding to hold the pages together.
