How could you sell this book in the condition it is in. Pages stuck together, water marks cover is hanging on on a thread. Ripped in places. There’s scribbling over some pages, If you disclosed how bad a state this book was in I wouldn’t have purchased it. What a let down. Will not be purchasing anything else from you. There’s no excuse to be selling a book in this condition.
