Walden / Civil Disobedience

My criticism was not on the content of the book but the physical appearance. The book was delivered as promised and was enjoyable HOWEVER... there was EXTENSIVE heavy underlining in this book despite the fact that it was rated in good condition (60 count em'... 60 pages of underlining). I would have to assume that "good condition" means no pages were missing or no folded/ruffled. But that doesn't compensate for so much underlining that I could hardly read the book. So this is a forewarning for customers who are purchasing books ...especially those owned by students, let the buyer beware you can run across books like the one I've just described. Choose wisely
