should be responsible . I am the second buyer thought i had bought the full set. But then after one month waiting time, I received only a 9th volume index book. Totally cheating and allows it.
This item is falsely advertised on . The picture and the title suggest that this is a "9-volume set", but I only recieved a very thin "9th volume" of the set that is basically index of the set!THe amount is such that I don't want to go through refund process, but I am very disappointed that did not screen its sellers to maintane your own good reputation.
thought I was getting a full 9 volume set and all I got was volume 6, which, by the was, was unreadable. the book looked like it had been dipped in water and allowed to dry. I tried to pull some of the pages apart, but they started to tear.. big rip off.
This offer is invalid and should be removed or corrected. You will not get the set as indicated but only one volume.
