Title: Hardback Binding Review
Review: This is a review of the Hardback binding of this book. Don't waste your money - you may as well get the Paperback! This is not a properly printed and bound hardback version of William Manchester's book. It looks like a "Print-on-Demand" book i.e. a scanned version of the original that is quickly run off when ordered. Because of the scanning, the illustrations are awful - dark, high-contrast images, lacking detail. The actual binding of the pages is like a paperback ie. individual sheets stuck into a thick wad of glue. They will fall out! Add to that 2 end-boards + an inflexible spine-board and you've got yourself a hardback book (supposedly). For this kind of money, you can get a real (2nd-hand) one from Abe Books.
