Negative Positive
Title: caveat emptor
Review: Undoubtably one of the best works of literature ever written and on its own merits deserves 10 stars.That said, the praise from earlier purchasers/reviewers (2004, etc) of the leather binding no longer applies, as this is not bound in leather any longer. It looks really close, but it is a thin paper imitation now. I bought this book for my son for Christmas, and when it arrived it was shrink wrapped. I did not want to remove this wrapping before Christmas; now I wish I had, because it is too late to return it and ask for a leather volume as advertised. Too bad - does not speak well of the integrity of the publishers....By all means order this and enjoy it for the extraordinary tale, but do not expect that you are getting real leather for the price tag.
Is the review positive or negative?
