Disappointed with the quality. Way too dark greyscale, and really cheap paper. Not  anywhere near the $12.00 plus price. Much better quality books out there. I'm returning mine.

I ordered this review book mainly for the review questions and the explanations that followed. I was very disappointed. There are several grammatical errors which made me seriously question the quality of this book in general. Also I found at least two questions that were straight up wrong! The explanations basically repeated the questions so they were not very helpful. The study guide portion was very simply and generalized. If this is the first review book you open you probably won't notice the poor quality but after using several other resource I can say with confidence that this book was one of the worst.

The quality of the book is very poor. Some parts are almost unreadable as the print is fuzzy or very light.

We are not at all satisfied.

(Reviewing the quality of the book itself, not the story.) I got the hardback version and only read a couple chapters before the pages started falling out. Also the print and pictures are not very crisp. A very low quality book.

Found much better designs in a similar book and when I wanted to return it, they charges me $5 which was over half the cost of the book. Very disappointed. Would recommend buying Adult Coloring Books, which are half the price and have better designs.

I'm  giving two stars because the prices so cheap. However, it looks like it was printed from someone's home printer because the print quality was so poor. Not to mention your kid can rip it apart in no time. Go find a hardback version...

The information is alright for a general illustration book that uses gouache as a focus.  However, I found the information on gouache materials and techniques to be lacking the depth implied by some reviewers.  The materials on gouache brands are limited to three or four major brands.  The techniques involve airbrush and general art instruction like color wheels and some focus on subject matter.

To make matters worse, the print quality on the book's pages look like it came from an ink jet printer!?  The book didn't look like the nearly $40.00 price it commands.  There should be better choices out there, for a Gouache handbook.

I had to buy this book for my ODE class, and it may be the worst book I have had to buy yet.
First, the text is not very clear, and there are few examples. Methods for solving DEs are (sometimes) introduced in the problems, rather than in the text.
Second, the quality of the book is poor. I bought mine new, and there were ink splotches on several pages--not the quality I would expect from a $160 college textbook! Besides the splotches, the paper quality is poor as well. I also was bothered by having to tear the CD out, leaving a ripped page in the textbook. You can tear along the preforated edge, but this leaves a ridge in the pages that is most annoying.
The software that comes with is OK, but the videos seem like something from a 6th grade science show.

If you buy the loose leaf edition, go ahead and buy yourself some reinforcement labels to fix your torn pages.  The book is printed on thin, low- quality paper that reminds me of tissue paper, and the print quality is similar to that of those old thermal fax machines.  Content is OK, but quality is pretty shoddy for a $100 book.

Poor print quality, in this day and age, you figure they could prepare a better manual....quality wise.

The book is poorly edited and designed. Meaning there are several errors both material-wise and design-wise. For example, where it says "look at fig 2.1, (four measurements)" there are actually only 3. Also, you will find that the figures and diagrams are not on the same page as the explanations; instead there is useless verbiage. There are certain grammatical errors also for the grammar police. I know it is a science book not an English language one, but, still a book at this PRICE POINT should be precise and effective in presenting the subject matter.
There is a lot of unnecessary verbiage that can make anyone loose interest. The only good thing about this book is it starts everything from the very basic level.
I bought this book because my professor did not agree on using a previous edition. I am a very poor but an excellent student and take a look at the efficiency of every dollar I spend on, if you can avoid buying this text do it.

Im super disappointed with the quality of the book. This book supposed to be a Christmas gift, and when I received, I realized it looks horrible! The pages are not evenly cut, and the cover (I ordered a hardcover one) was really poor quality. I wish I had ordered this before, so I would have had time to return it and buy in a local bookshop.

Very poor printing, I don't expect to so quality on a booklet even for $5. The book is easy to understand, though I miss more information regarding different breeds. For example; the different retrievers and gun dogs are supposed to have different reach of neck and different shoulder angulation due to different retrieving capabilities; some shall pick up the bird horizontally, some vertically , and it is of outmost important to know the difference and not at least the importance of this.

Recommend the book to people who wants to know the basics, but for breeders, judges (both eksterior and field-trail) I recommend "Dogs in motion" by Fischer and Lilje.

I am not qualified to review the author's work. Who is? But the book itself is of poor quality. Shabby, really. When you buy a hard cover book you have a certain expectation. It should be something worthy of your book shelf. This book has those ragged untrimmed edges on the paper. The paper is coarse. The dust cover is also worn from warehouse storage and handling. Amazon, I would not be proud to sell this book. Potential buyers, shop elsewhere for this book or save some money and buy the paperback.

the paper quality is super poor. the book itself is amazing. I read a library copy before ordering one, and was very disappointed to see the paper quality of this copy so poor. I don't even know if it's a publisher's copy, or someone else made copies to make profit off it.
