A mini hardbound?!

A full hardbound price for a book the size of a paper back! Bizarre! Buyer be warned!!
✓ Verified Purchase

It is a paperback-sized book with a very stiff cardboard jacket & way too expensive for such a book.

The picture given is very misleading. Since I did not know what "Turtleback School & Library binding" meant I had assumed it was the normal type of binding found in Library books but it definitely is not! The piece of cardboard that the pages are glued to is 1/8 inch thick so there is NO give to it, and with the normal "breaking in" process of a new book it has not helped in any measurable way. With the size being a little bigger than the normal paperback-book size (4.5" x 7.5") it is hard to hold the book open while reading, so someone who has weakness in their hands/finger will more than likely find it very difficult to manage this book. Photos 1-4 show the actual book I received & are before being opened, photos 5-6 shows trying to keep open with only 2 fingers & then 4 fingers, photos 7-9 shows how little forcing the book open in the middle effected the spine & pages, photos 10-11 shows a final close-up of spine and jacket. It is most definitely NOT WORTH the almost $20.00 price being charged. If there had been a better option I would not have ordered this option.
