Customer Reviews
Great writer, printing is awful
Once again, my gripe is not with Spares work, which is brilliant (and completely sucks you in if you pay attention to it).
This book is basically a copy and paste job from the net, except the images look like they were resized down in Microsoft Word, and a couple of hundred typos thrown in. They clearly did not even reread this when they typed it up.
Reading Spare means every word counts, his stuff is extremely condensed, a typo can throw off the whole meaning of the sentence.
I bought it knowing this, but didn't think it would be THIS bad. This publishing company are just a bunch of chancers and profiteers.
