Not what is looks like.
Total waste, I only recognized about 5% of the covers, this was like an international version- so many from other countries. Should have been a 'coffee table book' in size. Not at all what I was expecting. Some of the photos were so small- worthless.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
