The book was slightly tatty when received- advertised as 'very good' I would of classed it as 'worn'. Also it was a different, more dated cover from that shown. As it was a gift, I complained and received an immediate apology (sent my complaint quite late in the evening and I think it was Sunday night) plus a replacement was sent out. The replacement was an exact replica of the first one...sigh...so just keep it as it reads well anyway, and was very cheap.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A little disappointed which isn’t the usual case
The Stephen King books I’ve bought in the past have all been the editions like the one shown in the picture. The one that actually turned up was a totally different edition, which was a little disappointing as I like to collect. Also, the description said the book was in ‘very good’ condition but the binding is extremely creased and torn and the back pages are a little bit ripped. However, this is the first time this has happened from world of books!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Not as shown
I understand for this price you can't get a book brand new but it should at least be a good copy. I have heard many great things about this book and when I order it expecting a near new book with the same cover as the one advertised I was slightly disappointed. I'm sure the book it's self is amazing but when all the pages are stained yellow, a well bent spine and toward the center of the book all of the pages were folded in on themselves.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Excellent book - reasonable condition
Compelling novel - a high tension page turner that has depth and powerful psychological insight. The paperback is fine, a little older so the page colour reflects the age A few creases in the spine but otherwise good.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good book
The book itself is really good but I received it in a horrible condition. It had disgusting marks all over the book and it was ripped from some parts too. The first few pages were practically stuck together. I get that it was cheap but books from charity shops or even car boot sales are in much better condition than this book is.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Condition of the book
I knew that it was a used book i was getting but didn’t expect it to look years old.. and a different cover to the image shown. The pages are yellow and the spine is all bent.. also it says on the book the price was £2.95.. £4.69 was a rip off

Thank you!
The book arrived in 3 days. Its a different cover to the picture but I think its even better than I hoped. Love the old cover, and for its age it looks barely read! World of books never disappointed - Thanks so much.
