This is a 60th birthday gift to my big little brother, I’m big lil sis (the eldest of my three brothers)
This is a 60th birthday gift to my brother in another county to where I live, so not visually been able to see the item purchased due to covid travel restrictions.
It’s fair to say as an avid MC supporter he is really pleased with it so far.
The book arrived in good time well before the expected date & I believe well packaged.
All in all both my self & brother really pleased with gift/purchase.

Very dissatisfied with book I received
Very dissatisfied with book I received.
The photo copying of many of the pages was very bad and barely readable. The pictures were just black indistinguishable blobs.
This was a birthday present and I was so embarrased when I gave it to them as it was such poor quality and unreadable in parts.

Thank you for your review.
We are sorry to hear this.
Within the product information on the website we do confirm that these books are created from the Telegraph scan archive and in some instances there will be blemishes and the reproduction quality may not be as clear or precise vs copying direct from the actual paper itself.
Your review has been passed to a Customer Service and a Representative will be in contact shortly to obtain photos and hopefully resolve this for you.
Please do accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused.
Kind Regards,
The In The Book Team
