Low quality reproduction

I knew this wasn’t an original copy, but this version is a low quality reproduction. There are no color illustrations, which is the main appeal, and the cover and print quality both seem very bad. Definitely not worth $40. I bought this as a gift but now I’m embarrassed to give it.
