reviews
Another disappointed customer
Buyer Beware! Before I purchased this book, I read some of the reviews that referred to the »paperback« version as a mini size, only 4"x 5". Other reviews warned DON'T buy the »paperback« version of the book, as the images are a great deal smaller, and not near as magnificent as the »hardcover edition« or, the »paperback reprint« is tiny in size and almost useless … Search used-book sources for the original »hardcover«. Others pointed out (this is a review of the original »hardcover« version, the »paperback« might be different)
So, I thought I was ordering the hardcover FULL size. In fact, I did receive a hardcover version, and guess what? To my surprise, it is still only 4"x 5". So, I then went back into all the reviews and I was amazed to discover that 15 out of 23 customers made the same mistake. They feel they were mislead by the publisher. They are dissatisfied with their purchase. This publisher needs to be more clear about what they are selling.
book size too small
This is the book, The Art of Rock, I wanted but not the size. I can't find information that I was told in the ad the size of the book. While I will keep this book I am disappointed that it is so small – really a tiny collector's item. And I was hopeful of using it for a gift. Was this my fault or the fault of the seller not giving enough information?
Good things don't always come in small packages
Maybe I didn't read the fine print, but I most certainly am now. This is a mini book of what I think is a full sized one.
CHECK SIZE
I saw this book in a book store and couldn't wait to use my amazon voucher on it. However I didn't read all the specs nor the reviews and was very disappointed when my 4x4 book turned up. 1/4 of the original size. Oh well good for bookshelf space I guess.
TOO SMALL! Not worth it because the awesome details are lost
The First time i saw this book i fell in love with it- but that was the big size version that i have been unable to find on anywhere! It is a wonderful collection of images but because of it's small size a great deal of the details are lost. This small size in this book is not worth purchasing unless it is just for a table topper.
