1.0 out of 5 stars How flexible are your reading skills?
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2021
The media could not be loaded.
 I purchased this book for my son, who is researching the various pirates of old. I am not a fan of paperback books by any means and can't stand the idea of reading a book on a machine, so I was left with the first option. Do not let the shiny cover fool you! The print is very small. The best part? The print is upside down and you must read from right to left for the narrative to make sense.

Bought for research: I'm sure it will be very good if I can get into it, but the print is tiny and it's written in Olde English: "Having taken more than ordinary Pains in collecting the Materials which compose the following History, we could not be satisfied with Our selves, if any Thing were wanting to it, which might render it entirely satisfactory to the Public: It is for this Reason we have subjoined to this Work..." And that's just the first sentence of the Preface. For Very Serious Scholars only.

i was very disappointed with the quality. The print was very small and feint. being a senior citizen, wearing glasses I will never be able to read this book without a magnifying glass. They gave no information on the size of the text. This has put me off from purchasing from them again.

1.0 out of 5 stars Put together poorly
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 24, 2020

One of the worst formatted books I have ever come across. Between the poor, inconsistent indentation and small font size, there is little hope for even reading this. Needless to say, I had to give up. I would not recommend this book.
