The Green Book: With new introduction by Caleb Maupin

Good seller good service good product

It's a political text like no other and is critical to reconciling the dichotomy of today's neoliberal society, worth the £5-6 (ish) just for that but there are key downsides to this specific print as listed below:1. The binding is cheap and nasty. The kind of thing your local church might have in the foyer, in fact it's worse than that because the quality of the cover art is 720p or less. Very fuzzy looking. There is a plastic film over the cover that is beginning to peel in places and I know will have no longevity unless cared for properly. There is no blurb on the back.2. The book is tiny. My pinky finger is thicker than the width of the book. And once you eliminate the introduction the real size of the book is reduced by about 35% (as seen in the fourth picture). This means you get about 70 pages of Gaddafi with the first 35 being occupied by Maupin.3. The font size itself is about the size of those pocket bibles distributed by Gideon International. It's something you have to hold up to your eyes when reading.4. The translation is incredibly clumsy at times and sometimes repeats itself numerous times over and over again in the same paragraph. At other times the translation is mediocre at best. I feel as though the true genius of the man is let down by the subpar translation.5. The introduction by Caleb Maupin is rendered unnecessary for those who've even done the smallest bit of prerequisite research on Gaddafi. There's a lot of contextual information that may be of use to a beginner in Pan-Arabism or third positionism and the middle East as a whole but it will be unnecessary for the well versed.As a whole it is worth the buy as one of the cheapest English copies available it would be more reasonably priced at £4- DICTATORIST

Fabulous book. Thank you!

The book is incomplete when comparing to the original version. The book is a badly printed copy of the original. This stopped me from buying Amazon books.
