Title: A note about the hardcover BINDING, not content
Product review: I purchased this book as a gift, but would be embarassed to present it. The hardcover "library binding" of this edition of Tales from Watership Down (ISBN 0-613-37671-4) is of the worst quality. It is a paperback book poorly disguised as hardbound by the addition of cardboard reinforcements to the cover. The text seems to be printed on public washroom paper towels pasted together. The newspaper critcal reviews occupy a page in the front and the outside back cover. There is not just a mention of, but full page advertising for Watership Down inside the back of the book. There is no dust jacket, but then what here is worthy of protection? The pleasure of holding a hardbound volume cannot be found in this edition.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
