Review: Book is well made with a sewn binding - This review was written on a first edition of the book. My review is on the construction of the book not its contents. This book seems well made compared to most other hardbacks out there. 1. Actual cloth cover (its soft too, so it feels like high quality bookcloth not buckram or something). 2. Foil embossed lettering and art on the cover. You can feel it in the bookcloth. 3. Paper is bright white. 4. It has a sewn binding!! (most importantly) desertcart's shipping damaged the book so I'll be ordering a replacement. (you can see that in the picture of the cover). Review: Bad printing - The cover print is so croaked! And for the design of the cover the pages way to white and thick. Sad. As for the writing, I have yet to experience.
