The book came damaged. The paper cover was water damaged and the edges of the book looked like it had been dropped on its edges. The pages were fine though. Very frustrating to spend money in a book that was new but looked used!

The back "spine" where the pages are held in place, was mangled and torn. The back cover was torn in half; I used scotch tape to
try to repair it. The front cover was sharply creased permanently and all the pages straight through to the back cover are creased.
I think I should be compensated for this defective book.

Very late review on this but, this book came with majority of the pages fallen apart. I had no choice but to keep it because I needed the book right away. And obviously too late to return it now.

The book is being held together by tape. The binding of the book is completely destroyed and, as I said, is being held together by tape.  It is in a terrible condition.

The pages were ripped out of the binding.  The binding seemed to be worn down.

I order at least 40-50 books per year, I think, and this is the only book I've purchased where the binding is so bad that the pages began to fall out at first use. I don't know if it's cheap glue or a bad batch or something, but my new copy, used primarily as a reference and handled gently, is falling apart. I'm not sure what alternatives there are, but be forewarned. At this price, the quality should be much better.

Pages was just falling out of the book.  One entire chapter fell out of the book.  Now, I have to get another one because it was sent as a gift.

All the pages are falling out. The book was all worn out and torn. I am really disappointed. The review says it was 97% new, which was so wrong. I wish I could return it but I need it for the course I am taking presently.

There was no mention of water damage or that pages were torn, just that it was in used. Used books can be in good condition or they can be in bad condition.  I paid over a hundred dollors and when I got my book some of the pages were stuck together so they are damaged with parts that are not legible.  I don't think I got what I paid for and this is for my class, that I also had to pay for.  I don't think that I will go this route again.

Binding is falling off the book; book is barely in one piece. Was sold as "like new."

It's damaged to where there are missing chunks out of the pages and on the other pages they are ripped from pages 39-44, so far.

My book was sent to me damaged. There is a busted corner on the front bottom right of the cover and the pages are separating from the spine. For purchasing this book new it came to me looking used. Also, between pages 214 and 215 the pages are separated so badly that you can see the glue from the spine and it looks like the page could fall out at any time. Not happy with the condition this book was sent in, especially for it being "New" and paying the price for it being NEW.

I was very excited to finally own a hard copy version of a Harry Potter book amd the package arrived on time and was in good condition. However, when I opened the book itself, I found that pages 333-336 were totally shredded. I was so sad at this because I wanted to start reading immediately. How can I fix this, Amazon? I live in Trinidad and Tobago.
