I was dissapointed to find the second disc is mislabeled. It's not the King at all but some 30's swing band stuff. There was some unclear disclaimer on the Amazon listing but it didn't say that you wouldn't get James Brown.

The second edition -- the one currently being shipped by Amazon -- has a major defect.  Page 41 is completely misprinted.  Instead of a summary of the well-regarded episode "Walking Distance'"), printed on page 41 is instead the second page of the acknowledgments.  This is a major gaffe.  Do not buy this edition.

Do not buy the 2011 Edition of "Toward a Psychology of Being" --- it is an edited edition and leaves out much of Maslow's actual words.  I did not know it was an abrieved edition ... and am very, very disappointed in this edition.  It has reduced the quality and richness of Maslow's original work.

I love Critical Thinking Co.'s books in general.  I used the younger Editor in Chief level with no problems.  However, this book is a mess.  The seller sent me a 2003 edition, and I have no idea if there is a more current one.  This edition is awful.  My child just finished exercise 14, and at least 4 out of the last 14 lessons had errors either in the answer key, or in the the exercise (but not considered errors by the answer key.) The website does have a section for errata, but some of the mistakes I found were not even listed there! I am not sure if I even want to continue using this book, but it is expensive for a mere 33 exercises and I'd hate to waste the money.  It's hard enough to teach proper grammar with all the awful grammar commonly used in media, and this book will not clearly help.

Not happy with this edition; no introduction, no foreword, no historical nor biographical notes and no illustrations...'just the facts'. I never thought any editiion would leave out generally included notes and illustrations.  Lesson learned: buy from local bookstore after handling to your satisfaction. MY local store does not stock any version of  "Pickwick Papers".
  I would return it, but the hassle is not worth the bother.
  One positive note: book is larger tnan the average paperback, making it a good lap read.

This was an absolutely terrible edition of this book. This is not about content, but is in regards to the paperback edition Amazon is currently selling. It looks like a bad bootleg copy. Illustrations are pixelated and look awful. I would not at all recommend this purchase.

Of course the story was fabulous and it was pure joy reading the story to my son. But this edition looks as if it were copied on a rundown copy machine. The cover art is pixelated. There are so many good editions that have illustrations. This was sloppily out together - someone making a quick nick on the author's work. Do yourself a favor and find a better edition!

I'll leave it to the other reviewers to tell you about the book (it's wonderful!) and will only comment on the Signet Classics edition in the hopes that you may save your eyes.  It's unreadable!  The print is tiny and is packed on the page with exceedingly small margins.  Spare yourself and get another (larger print) edition... and enjoy this wonderful story.

The Great Divorce is one of my favorite Lewis works. This particular edition, however, was absolutely wretched. It was rife with formatting errors, punctuation errors and spelling errors to the point of being virtually unreadable. (See attached photos.) So while I'd highly recommend the work, avoid at all costs this Brawtley Press edition!

I leave up to the legions of rave Lattimore fans to praise his masterful translation, but most of them forgot to mention this edition itself.
It's awful.
The margins are virtually nonexistant, making taking notes nearly impossible. The text is microscopically small--the spaces between lines are so tiny that it's enormously difficult to read the cypher that Indiana University Press has printed this book in. The line breaks are numbered in groups of 5, which makes finding which line you're on very hard: splitting into groups of 4 (like almost every other play, or poem ever written is) would have made this work that much easier to enjoy.
Get Lattimore, but don't get this terrible edition.

Don't buy this edition of the book. This particular edition was a rushed job- the book is riddled with so many errors and typos that after manually effecting the errata (obtained separately from the authors' websites), my book resembled what should have been the editor's copy before the book went into print. In disgust I trashed the book ( it was not fit for donation to local library). Fortunately I had purchased a brand new copy for $43 from a third party so my loss was manageable.

Ladieees and gentlemen!  New in this Third Edition!  10.0s with visible defects!  9.9s with spine stress!  A 9.6 with a 1/4 inch front cover tear!

...and that's not all!

You also get all the same internal inconsistencies that you got in the second edition, such as text descriptions that read "No creasing" accompanied by pictures of books in the same grade with visible creasing!

So what prompted this THIRD edition of the grading guide?  Apparently, they thought the addition of zoom boxes on a few of the defects here and there justified an entirely new edition!  Well, that and a few pages of the same namby-pamby discussion of restoration, pressing, and disclosure that you can read on the CGC message forums for free.

The bottom line is, if you need a grading guide, buy the second edition; don't buy this third edition.  If you follow this third edition and try to sell someone a "10.0" that has visible defects or a "9.6" with a 1/4 inch front cover tear, I don't care what the guide says, you're going to have an angry customer.

And if you already have the second edition of the grading guide, save your money and skip the third edition.  This book is a complete waste of cash and paper.

I have always bought the paperback before (2007, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016) but decided to buy the Kindle version for 2017 to make things easier.  (The book changes little, but some hotels want to see you have the latest version to get the RS discount.)  I will never do that again.  AVOID  this edition, and spend an extra buck for the paperback.  Finding things in this edition is cumbersome, and some things in the print version are not in the Kindle version.  (What the heck happened to Ravenna for goodness sakes!)

This is widely considered to be a classic album, so if you plan on buying it, do yourself a favor and seek out another edition.  This edition is poorly digitally mastered and features quite a bit of annoying digital clipping, harsh crackles that distract from the music.  You might be tempted by the lower than usual price, but you'll get what you pay for.  If you're reading this at all, I don't have to tell you much about the music.  My simple advice is to avoid this edition.

Don't buy this edition. There is a new edition: The American in Canada: Real-Life Tax and Financial Insights into Moving to and Living in Canada  Updated and Revised Second Edition.

I am very pleased with all the various exercises, which are exactly the areas I need to start working on. However, I am very disappointed with this edition and find it very discouraging.  I honestly believe many customers, who need to work with skills in this book, would feel the same way.  In far too many places the exercises are too condensed with simple phrase like:

"Transpose to All Keys",
"Continue Pattern Upward through all keys"
"Continue Upward on White Keys until......."
"Continue Upward by half steps through all keys"
"Continue upward by half steps"
"Continue upward by half steps through one octave"

The targeted users are basically trying to transition from intermediate to early advanced, so they still need all the notes to be written out. Not many are comfortable with easy transposing to all keys off their heads or off their finger tips. Such skills, among many other more advanced skills, are exactly what they need to work on!!!

Can the publisher consider to have a second edition, to have all notes across all keys to be all written out, like a Hanon or the Brown Scale Book?  I am sure this new edition will be welcomed by many users of this first edition!  I hope in the near future, we will have such a new edition with all notes across all keys all written out.

Cardboard packaging for both books, without shrink wrap, had corners of both brand new books damaged during transit. Amazon should consider to switch back to shrink wrap then in a box like they did previously, when the books arrived in perfect condition.

Do yourself a favor and don't purchase this edition.

Anyone who reviews this thing favorably is doing so based on the virtues of the original book, not the document received.
Without exaggeration, this thing has multiple typos on every page, and even had an """ somewhere in it. The pictures on the front and back cover are grainy and look like they were put together in Microsoft Paint. The formatting is terrible, to the point that there is no indentation in nested lists and their structure is totally unintelligible. The combination of a bunch of made up words and concatenations of words, using hyphens, mixed with a ridiculous amount of typos make it super hard to parse. It is a horrible summary of the book and doesn't even begin to do a decent job of expressing the whole of the idea. It honestly feels like it was assembled by some student 30 minutes before it was due. The fact that someone is making money off of this is a crying shame and absolute injustice. I imagine it won't go on for long. It provides absolutely zero utility. Don't buy it!
