Totally xerox book. Don't buy it's a scam.It's all black and white, no color schema, very fine print not readable.Definitely not genuine product

Printing is not good. Seems like a Xerox binded. In reality the PDFs are colorful.Poor quality papers. Im sure this is not original. A duplicate of Xerox Papers binded being sold.If u are in real need u can buy.

It's not an original copy. It's Xerox and binded together, a waste of money and time.

Blurred and faint printing confirms that this copy is pirated one.Replace me with a genuine copy with clear printing.Sale of such fake books dissuades buying books on Amazon as I have stopped buying plants on Amazon.

I had ordered a new copy and recieved one with heavy damage on the cover with a bit of an offset print .
