It appears her mistake was telling you members of her family read it. Perhaps not her crowning moment. Well you did receive a gift even if it was used. If other members of her family all read it then it comes with good reviews. I'd rather receive a book I look forward to reading than some useless dollar store item. If this book was difficult to obtain, or a limited edition we wouldn't be having this conversation. Please do tell what is the title of the book?
