Good Book, Poor Printing
345843
The concept is great. But my major complaint with this book is the printing.  A very common problem is that entire words in the text are faded (this is done intentionally to indicate less frequent vocabulary -- e.g. words used in the OT less than 100 times). Since these words are printed only in a very light ghost gray, they look washed out as if there were some sort of inking problem in the printing. Perhaps this is a usefule tool to some, but I found it less than appealing. Other than that, this Hebrew Bible makes for a pleasant alternative to awkward interlinear versions.

Information was good but the printing is awful.  Black ink spots are found all over the book.  Disappointing.

The book is great, the printing is bad: 1 page is not readable as it is badly printed, almost half a page is darkened. and

The contents deserve 5 stars, but the horrible printing deserves none! I gave it 4 stars because I didn't want to mislead people to think there's anything wrong about the contents.

I took out the original edition from the library and was enthralled by the brilliant patterns. I was happy to learn that it (along with other volumes in the series) has been reissued by the Schoolhouse Press. I quickly ordered this and the first volume. However, I was disappointed (no, make that disgusted) by the poor printing quality. In the original edition, patterns with 3, or more than 3, colors are printed in colors, which makes sense, because it's the only way to show the color patterns properly. Some people have commented on the "not so tasteful" color combinations in the original edition. But colors are a matter of personal taste and can be easily changed. At least one should be able to see how different colors interact in a pattern. In the reissue, they're in B/W and are impossible to make out! Even the 2-color patterns that are B/W in the original edition came out dark and muddy. Had I come across the reissue in the library I'd have bypassed it and missed out on a treasure.  It's such a shame because Walker's books are timeless classics and should be in the possession of every serious knitter--novices or veterans. My suggestion: If you can, take out the book from your local library and make photocopies of the patterns you like. Then pray that some day some conscientious publisher would do justice to Walker's classics.

A good book but a bit pricey, especially as it is print-on-demand. I don't know if it's because of it being print-on-demand, but the photos and illustrations are very poor quality.

Beautiful book, poorly reproduced.  Very low quality "photocopy" illustrations.  The text is fine.

The book is great, timeless and wonderful.  The actual publication/printing displays like a photo copy with large blank spaces surrounding the text and blurred letters that bleed on top of each other making it almost painful on the eyes at times to read.

This is Yet Another D&D sourcebook from WotC with truly five-star content, but depending on the copy, _terrible_ printing quality. At least 30 pages (out of 256) have smudged text, a pink overlay that ruins images or a smudged background that makes it hard to read. I've sent my copy back for a replacement.

WotC has been struggling with such production problems at least since the 5e PHB came out, which was notorious for pages falling out and leaking glue. My copy doesn't have the binding issues, but those have apparently been replaced with other ones.

Really sad because the content is excellent, but the printing problems knock off two stars.

UPDATE: I've received my replacement copy from Amazon and it's immaculate. So there is hope: if you get a bad copy, send it back for a different one, you might get lucky. My original review (and score) still stands; these production problems are unacceptable, especially since the D&D community has been pointing them out for literally years.

The content is good, exactly as I expected.  But the book is very poorly printed.  The cover looks like it is larger than the original size so it is pretty blurry.  The pages look like they are printed at original scale but because of the larger page size there's a really big margin.  Overall poor quality of the physical book.

I was disappointed with the quality of the printing. The book is readable, but the pages look like they were produced on a photocopier that was beginning to run out of toner.  The graphics are particularly bad with light streaks through them and that course dithered newsprint look.  Be warned.

I bought this book as a reference book for some research. It seems to have some good general info in it and is a good book to start with before going to more detailed books. I do have a problem with the printer. Some of the pages in the book are printed out of order (see chapters 14 and 15). A mistake as serious as that tells me there was no proofing of the book before printing and packaging.

The book has good information and is well presented. The quality of the book is not as good as I expected. Pages are loose and falling out.

The content of the book is great, only a little short and condensed. I wish more examples were available. Also I wish sometimes author would approach a topic from different angles, instead of leaving us behind after plowing through something...

Very poor print quality and layout, the colored pages are FALLING OUT from the book. Definitions are not always apparent and it is difficult to discern important parts in the book. Graphs are "grayscale" and are also of very poor quality.
I guess this is all due to the book being old, and it is printed on-demand, as shows in the font/typeface - which looks like it's been "xeroxed".

I like the content even though it reads like a reference book.  What I have trouble with is the extremely poor print quality.  Like a lo-res dot matrix on recycled paper.  Really diminishes the experience.

An excellent book in general.  However, the lack of captions and the flatness of the printing leaves something to be desired.

The book is great. But the printing of the paperback version  is of very low resolution, and this makes it unpleasant to read.
