Sad and disappointed: good book, misleading condition

I chose "good" expecting some wear and tear, maybe even light pencil markings or scuffs. This is unusable. The entire premise of the book is emotional intelligence for toddlers, which requires decent visuals so the expressions in the pictures are visible. Every page of this book is covered in blue marker (highlighter?) so the pictures are not anywhere clear enough to read expressions. If this were a book of landscapes or art I might shrug and say it adds a creative touch, even though I'd be a little sad the pictures aren't clear, and I might not leave a review. But the scribbles are so thick, and so widespread, that the book is rendered ineffective. Maybe it could have been marked as "acceptable" with some heavy qualifiers, but even that would be generous. This is one of my first few books from this site as I'm trying to move away from Amazon books, and I'm disheartened to see the dishonest (or maybe just negligent?) condition choice.
