Pages missing
I received a used book in the mail today with critical pages missing. The booksellers were not aware as it was carefully done, and I didn't notice until browsing through it just now and couldn't find the page I needed for the flower on the cover. The book is Fantastic Fabric Folding by Rebecca Wat. She makes beautiful origami flowers and shows the directions in this book. Except for my book where some of the pages showing the origami folding steps were taken out. The book should have been put in the trash or at least where it wouldn't find its way back into the used book market. Thankfully it didn't get donated to a library and then sold in a monthly book sale. This is just hurtful all the way around. I understand decluttering and downsizing, but once the pages are extracted, the book, pattern or magazine is now useless, and it needs to be destroyed.
OK, I'll simmer down now.
