So disappointed in the lack of quality that I will be sending the book back.

I just got this devotion for my daughter who is a college student. I happened to thumb through it and I'm so disappointed in the lack of quality that I will be sending it back. There are multiple typos and grammar errors in just the handful of pages I skimmed.  It's almost as if no editor ever proofed the manuscript. In the 15 minutes of reading through some random pages, here are the kinds of things I found.

I purchased this book based on the previous reviews. Interestingly, none of them appear to be verified purchases...hmmmm. The poor quality of this book in both structure and content is evident from the first few pages. I am glad I was able to return this book and get my money back.

I'm reviewing the production quality, not the story.  This is my second copy of this book (received Sept. 2016), and the print quality is noticeably worse from my first copy, purchased 4 years ago.  The contrast of the imagery is weaker, as well as the sharpness and blackness of the text.  And, the binding is not pressed or stamped, but very loosely put together.  Definitely a down-grade in quality.

I would not recommend this book to anyone. It looks like a pile of black and white photocopied pages I could of done myself at the library. I wish I had done this as it would have saved me the $20.00 POSTAGE and probably a few dollars on the so called book. Very dissatisfied customer

I am a big DeMille fan and have most of his books in hard copy. I actually purchased Cathedral because I lent out my hard copy, which was never returned. Since this is an old title I expected this replacement to be perfect. The number of formatting and grammatical errors was atrocious, and there were actually ten to twelve missing pages (blanks) on each of the last two chapters. On top of everything I spent a half hour on the phone with Amazon troubleshooting the mistakes for the publisher. Amazon did refund my purchase, but I still have a bad taste in my mouth.

The content of this book is completely lost in the horrendous printing quality!! It is very difficult to read because the print looks like it was a bad photo copy. I cannot believe someone saw that this book was fit for sale after a low quality print job. 500 plus pages of eye strain!! So disappointed that all of this quality writing and information is lost to bad printing.

the quality of the product is very very poor!
I ordered this product for my niece because she loves writing stories.
I was totally disappointed when I opened the box because of the quality of the books.
1) The pages of the book were stuck together.
2) There were glue on the pages of the edges of the book which made the pages stick together and which made the pages of the book look very untidy.
3) The pages of the book were glued unevenly - some were higher than the other.

The product was made with a lack of care - very very poor workmanship!

I purchased this book as a gift. When the book arrived, the pages were not completely bound and pages were cut, but not clean through. I was very disappointed in the quality. For me, I hope this was a rare occurrence.

I was so disappointed in the quality of the paper and print that I returned this book. A big part of the enjoyment of a new book for me is the physical quality of the product.  I thoroughly enjoyed the author's other works and was disappointed not to read this one.

I've been eagerly anticipating the arrival of this book. Based on the other reviews, I expected a quality book with beautifully printed images. Here is the reality:
Paper quality - terrible. It's the cheapest 8 1/2" x 11" paper you can buy. It's thin and rough.
Print quality - terrible. Some prints are darker than others (I tried to show this in the picture. Also notice the hazy blotch around the horse's forehead).
I can't show all illustrations, but they don't all relate to the theme.  I color to relax. I don't find the image on the right very relaxing, personally.  And there are other equally intense images in the book. That's just my opinion, though.  Lastly, the book is way overpriced. There are much nicer books at the same price point.

I was highly disappointed in this printing of the book.  It says "illustrated" but there are just a few poor quality pictures scattered at the beginning.  There is also random adds for free audio book downloads mixed in the pages.

The book itself has been a fun read for my sons. However, the quality of the book is astoundingly poor!! We ordered the first five books in the series, and at least three of the books had page after page falling out of them after the first read-through. Buy these books from another seller if you intend for your kids to actually read them! Otherwise, keep the roll of Scotch tape handy.

I'm very disappointed in this publication.  The photos are mainly black and white and they are poor quality.  The recipes seem jammed in together so it all is very unappetizing.  I own over 200 recipe books and this one will be donated.

This book is the worst I have every bought from Amazon, especially as it is a Christmas present - I am bitterly disappointed and if I could have sent it back I would. I wish I had bought it in Australia.  It looks as if it has come off a third world production line with all the edges chewed.  The paper is extremely poor quality and it appears that it has been chopped off from other books in a long line and slapped together.  It is not a cheap book and does not give me much confidence in the other book I have ordered from Amazon.  Lift your game if you want repeat business Amazon.

I haven't had time to go through all the content of this book as I just received it.  The authors' pedigrees speak for themselves so I imagine all of the content to be just as great as the chapters I've read.  My problem isn't so much with the content as is is with the way that content is represented here on Amazon.  The LOOK INSIDE preview shows all-color photos, yet the book only has black and white pics.  What's the big deal, you ask?  The big deal is that the form factor for this dictates that full color spreads be printed on much better paper than what was used.  These pages would barely qualify as magazine pages.  The paper is of very poor quality and that's a huge issue for a book that I plan to spend a lot of time with.  This book would never hold up to day to day use.  It's a real shame the publisher didn't see fit to create a product whose physical qualities live up to the quality of the contents.

The pictures were at least of bearable quality. Unfortunately they are really bad so for me there is no point to keep the book.  If I buy the book of jewelry ideas and tutorials I expect to see photos which are sharp and clear. And until now I always got at least this. Some books are better than others but never this bad. I even went and checked one more time - it cannot be so terrible, right? No, it is even worse than my first look. I am sorry to have my expectations spoiled...

I am extremely disappointed in the print quality of this book. The pages are off center, and the type is smeared and hard to read. I'd like to know what I paid $23.52 for. My 11 year old grandson could have did a better job at producing a copy of this book by printing it off the webpage. How come the "Click to LOOK INSIDE" doesn't show how shoddy the print really is? It is really a misrepresentation. I will never order another book from this printer (Kessinger Publishings)!

Sincerely,
