The book arrived in great condition, no rips, tears, stains, etc. HOWEVER. My big gripe is with these ***damn stickers. Why every book has to have not one but multiple huge white stickers is beyond me. You heat the stickers up with a hair dryer and they peel right off. Grand! Except for the ******* sticker residue!!!! Now my book is picking up every piece of lint in the house, in the car, in the bag, it drives me nuts. Now I have to get some goo gone and take care of the issue and that’s bogus. Please can we stop with the stickers?
