- w***k (745)- Feedback left by buyer.More than a year agoVerified purchaseIf I had found this book at a thrift store for two bucks I’d be thrilled, the binding is solid and it’s not a remainder. However, it is brown, you’d may say it’s tanned, but for a volume as young as this one from Virago, it’s absolutely toasted. You must temper your expectations with World of Books, you’re unlikely to get a treasure for the ages, but if you don’t mind a brown reading copy, you’ll be satisfied. Still hope springs eternal, maybe someday the Very Good description will be accurate.
