This is not a new book

How can this be listed as a new book?  I read the book years ago.  You should clearly state the differences between this new edition of the book and the previous edition.  Otherwise, people will buy the book and be VERY disappointed when they realize that they have already read it!

the book was not new as advertised.  The cover was missing and the previous owner had written inside the first page.

It is a reprint of the book by A.L. Sadler "The Maker of Modern Japan", just with a new cover and a different foreword. Don't be deceived to think it is a more recent edition or a more modern biography.

I bought this book as new but, the book is not new! It is used and there are many handwritings on the pages of the book. However it is very good book. The book has lots of life stories, vocabulary and differerent kind of questions about stories. I like it.

This book is newly published and the listing shows one new copy for $141 and some used copies for 1/10th that amount.  It is a paperback.  Why the high price.  The listing must be in error.  As a dedicated Kindle reader, I have requested it be available as an ebook.  I have loved the original written by Rev Earl G Lee, and am eager to see how Scott Daniels has treated the topic.  Please get your listing on Amazon corrected.  Thanks, Robert L Parker.

In the process of reading still, but loving what I'm reading. This needs to be re-published, re-announced, and re-circulated.

Please be aware that this is NOT THE NOVEL.  This is a collection of critical writings ABOUT the novel.

There is nothing whatsoever wrong with this book.  It arrived on time and in fine condition.  The trouble is, this is a story was published in the US under another name.  I was excited for it to arrive, and when it did, I was dismayed to learn that I already had it.  It's on me; I should have read the blurb more closely.  So I would caution anyone who reads mysteries in a series to read the description before purchasing.  Once again:  There was nothing wrong withe the book or with the service, so don't misunderstand me.

As much as I like Doug personally and as much as I enjoyed his book when it came out (and the several times since that I have read it), I was dismayed to see, when my order arrived, that this is the same book he wrote  several years ago dressed in a new "jacket." I wish him every  success but I wish to warn others that this is not a new book!

this book is great, and is very informative, however it is not the most recent edition of the book. the newer edition is much more thorough.

A message from the author: This book has been issued with a new cover.  The new cover is yellow with blue lettering. Nothing else about the book has changed.  The content inside the two different covers is identical.  The book with this  older cover black and white cover is being sold for two to three times the cost of the book with the newer yellow and blue cover. Why spend the extra money? -- David Gerstel, Author of the Running a Successful Construction Company

I thought I was purchasing a new book, that is what the information listed.  Though the book is in good condition, it is not new at all, it has highlighting all over inside the chapters.

It seems new but not new new. It had just a few markings on the cover and inside the book. But otherwise, it's exactly what I wanted.
