2.0 out of 5 stars Poor binding alignment. This excerpt from the larger book is not worth the price.
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2024
This book is an excerpt from a larger book. I thought it would still be informative, but after reading it I felt that I'd not learned much. The text refers the alchemical symbolism of artwork and provides a very surface overview of alchemy overall.

Also, the substantive text does not make up all 28 pages rather about 22 pages.

The biggest problem is the print offset for the paperback binding. It's not offset to account for the binding so the last word of each line or a portion of it is obscured unless you really stretch the book open and pull the binding apart. If the hardback version is similar then I imagine more of the text would be obscured.

Final thoughts, The book, in my opinion, is no where near worth $17. I'd purchase this for a couple of dollars. Even if the print was aligned for binding, the contents is still not valuable to warrant the cost. I don't know the cost to print it, but even at that, the contents really isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

Again it is an excerpt from a larger book so perhaps purchasing the larger book would be a far better value both monetarily and intellectually and it's not much more cost.
