Was extremely disappointed with the quality of book. If I wanted a black and white photo copy of the book I could of copied it myself and put it together. Not worth the money I spent.

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.

Quality of the book is worse than described. Lots of writing and highlighting and markings throughout.

The novel was good  but the quality of the book was horrible. The seams and the cover completely fell apart, pages separated binding was terrible.

all the pages on the inside were tore at the holes.  I had extra at home.  I woudl have shipped it back if i did not need it that weekend.  The outside of the book itself is pretty.  just the quality of the insides were very very poor.

I was terribly disappointed by the quality of this book, especially compared to Johanna Basford's Secret Garden. Splendid Cities is a cheaply produced paperback that features pixilated images and a strange combination of hand-drawn illustrations and very clunky geometric messes (this sample pages gave no indication of this). It's a huge disappointment. Though the pricing is comparable to Secret Garden, it lacks the quality production of that book and the paper seems thinner.

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.

BEWARE WHEN GIVING AS A GIFT. PUBLISHER- PLEASE FIX QUALITY.  The quality of the paper is extremely poor and thin. When sitting on on a flat surface I was extremely disappointed to see sections of the pages rested in ripples and waves inside the covers. The paper is thinner than cheap notebook paper. It would be extremely easy to leave thumb prints when turning pages. I stopped looking at it for fear it would look used before I gave it as a gift to a book collector. I was embarrassed but it was just my daughter. I also noticed the original photos were probably spectacular but the printing itself is a bit flat and missing so much rich detail. I hope the publisher upgrades the quality so this book can earn respect. Better to charge more money than have s cheap book that cant sit on a shelf more than a few years without being tossed, A book like this should withstand many page turns and have great detail along with good quality/pound paper.

There were many pages throughout the book where the prints were very faded and this made reading very diffcult. This defect makes the book look like some cheap rushed job. Terrible.

The quality of the book is very poor. Some parts are almost unreadable as the print is fuzzy or very light.

We are not at all satisfied.

I just received the book, hard cover. This is the worst quality book I have ever bought in term of the condition/outlook of the book. It looks new but the binding is badly done, causing all pages not aligned. This is my first hard cover book from amazon, I hope this is not something common, anyway I won't try my luck next time.

The writing/storyline of the book is great.  But the QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT that I received was awful.  It said that it was in GUC....good used condition. NOT at all accurate.  The binding was completed off the book and pages were falling out before I even took it out of the package.  Would much have preferred to buy it new, but that wasn't an option.  I thought that buying this directly from Amazon (not through a 3rd party) the quality would have been much better.

I purchased this book from a third-party seller who described it as "like new", which it wasn't.  Most of the pages were either written on or already colored (by what I can only assume was a child).  This version of this book DOES NOT contain the full-color plates on the opposing page but instead has a small color "circle" of the image on the same pages as the coloring page.  The paper is easily wrinkled and not of good quality.  I would highly recommend looking for the original book ISBN 978-1-78599-207-0, which I purchased after receiving this copy and which has the full color plates on the opposing page and better paper quality.

Extremely disappointed with the quality. The cover is peaking and falling apart and is only being used as it should. I would hate to see the condition of my cover if I put it in my purse the way I do my other case.

Poor quality.  Some words are cut off or in the binding of the book.
