If it's "Perfect Binding" (like some of the previous ones) you'll end up with 526 pages on the floor in time.....
"Perfect Binding" -- the cheapest, most imperfect binding ever devised for books.....

Amazon Review of Volume1

Mrs H Harris
2.0 out of 5 stars Hopeless binding

Verified Purchase
I purchased this book in June 2019, but have only just begun to read it. The work is superb with fine quality printing and photographs. However by the time l reached page 145 the pages began to come away from the binding add hardcovers. . Now each pages comes out of the binding as l turn it over, Loose pages are now nearly impossible to keep in order. Sadly the binding used was clearly never fit for .purpose.
