Review: Know, how it all began - Must read magnum opus for seekers Review: For those with eyes to see… - Wow. The world will look a little different after reading thats for sure. I’m almost done reading it, I’ve opted for the cover to cover approach. It’s perfect for reading a section or two at a time as it’s more of an encyclopedia. The coloured pages in the middle are a very nice touch and there’s a lot of interesting stuff in it.

Binding for such a heavy thick book should be more secure
The first book arrived with the spine broken. Dragonfly, the shipper, just plonked it from a height onto my concrete deck. It takes little effort to bend and place carefully or take one further step and place it gently on the deck table, but no they are lazy and in a hurry. Dragonfly always drop parcels this way, I am surprised the mugs weren't shattered that came in the same parcel. I have returned the book for a replacement and informed the publisher Dover Books that the binding is not strong enough for such a large book. The replacement came in a padded bag, again dropped on the floor. The replacement looks OK but I don't know if it has been weakened and will return it. I have found a hardback copy at an affordable price at Booktopia and ordered that instead. Great that this classic reference book is available at last in softback at a good price but as it's a reference book you return to again and again, it's not a one time read, binding needs to be much stronger. Just an alert to treat it gently if you do buy one, but I'm going for the hardback, much more durable.
