This book went straight into the trash. Completely unreadable. It is some sort of cheapo reprint on large size paper with print so tiny, so minuscule, I would have had to use a magnifying glass to read it -- and that is just not worth it. Ordinarily I would have donated it to the library, but I wouldn't wish this piece of junk on my worst enemy. This publication is an assault on the memory of the revered Edith
Wharton.
