Title: This edition is a disappointment
Review: The physical quality of this edition is greatly disappointing. Compared to the 1970 (or even 1981) edition, it hardly qualifies as a real book. The pages of this "pseudo-book" are no longer bound in signatures, but merely glued to an inflexible spine. It cannot possibly be made to open flat, and so is useless as an open-book reference. Instead of being printed on opaque coated paper as before, it is now printed on paper that allows the print on the reverse and even following page to show through distractingly. The page margins are so narrow that the text next to the spine can be read only with difficulty. Forget this edition and buy a second-hand 1970 Scott-Foresman edition. That $5.95 quality book will still be serving your organization faithfully long after the spine has cracked and the pages have fallen out of this $37.50 Perseus "pseudo-book".
Is the review positive or negative?
