Poor quality disappointed but a good book
I bought these books having had them years ago. Excellent titles but although they are second had and sold as good... this one's pages were in poor quality.. crinkled throughout as if they had all been wet at some point. Readable but very disappointing as I wanted to kefep them as good reference books.
