The book cover had a crease down the length of the front cover. Other than that I was very pleased with the overall condition of the book. Creasing of the cover comes from bending it during reading, which happens while reading a paperback book if you’re careful.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A lot of jargon used in the wrong context.
The author takes liberty to use too many words to describe a situation. In addition to her writing style I found her frustrating to read.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
