Gator Football - Slightly disappointed
The binding is very poor and feels like it will fall apart easily. Actually, I wouldn't call it binding. The pages are glued to the book cover and it is a bit flimsy. I agree with another review that some of the pages are smeared. One cannot read all of the articles but mostly headlines. I am afraid to handle it too much before I give it as a gift, for fear of breaking it.

Thank you for your review.
We are sorry to hear this.
We am sorry to hear that you are not happy with the quality of your order. The scans have been archived from original microfilms which are in black and white some of which are quite dated and can vary in quality. We do make every effort to ensure they are cleaned up prior to dispatch but we are very dependent on the scans available for each date which can be quite grainy/pixelated. It is only in recent years that full colour digital archives have been made available so the print technology may not be as good as a print from today.
As a gesture, we have applied a 10% discount to your order, which has been refunded to you, which we hope will help towards rectify your dissatisfaction.
If you feel you are happy with the service that you have received and wish to update the Trust Pilot Review please feel free to do so. Understandably if this is not the case we appreciate you taking your time to write this review.
Please do accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused.
Kindest Regards

Customer Service
I ordered this book for my lifelong friend Kenneth Merkitch as a present for his birthday on Nov 26, 2022. I received emails from you telling me the order was shipped and received in mid November however in speaking with my friend earlier today I was embarrassed to learn he never received the order. If you cannot deliver the order within the next week then I request a full refund of $73.49

Space Planets
I loved the variety of book titles. I needed a suitable book for a 5 year old who loves learning about space. The planets book was perfect with his name on every page and his photo on the back. It will be a treasured Christmas present. Your book arrived well packaged and on time.

I was supposed to receive my book on the 28th or 29th of November and now it’s December 1st and still no book. I received your email to rate my purchase and I cannot do that because I have no book to review.
