Title: Balantine Books is Stealing!
Review: Robert K. Massie's writting is wonderfull, but the quality of the publishing is shamefull. This book is so shodily put together that the pages fall out as you turn the page! I could read the odd numbered pages in the book. But when I turned the page it came out in my hand, so I read the even numbered pages outside of the book. Inspite of the trouble with the book itself, I enjoyed the writting. The story of Peter the Great was well told and I learned things I never knew about the man and his country. I just would like a company with some professionalism to buy the writes to print it and print a copy of Mr. Massie's words that is worth buying. I went to "a major book store" in my area and the copies they had for sale were just as bad. Is a putting a copy of a book on the market that is so poorly crafted it can not stand up to a single reading stealing? It may not meet the criminal definition, but it sure fits the moral one; don't buy this book.
Is the review positive or negative?
