I have read this book before. It is an excellent book. I was either sent the wrong edition or if I was sent the correct edition, the book pages were in very poor condition. The condition of the edition I ordered stated it was in "Good" condition but, in fact, all of the pages were brown and looked like they were ready to disintegrate. I was giving this as a gift so though I intend to purchase another, better copy, but I was very disappointed and had to send my friend a poor copy because I wanted him to have it before I went into surgery.The copy I ordered had a different cover on it. The cover pictured all of the crazy characters on it.This is the first time I was disappointed in the quality of a book I have ordered through Amazon.com or Betterworld Books etc. subsideraries.Sincerely,Barbara
