Not very happy

This book is in very bad condition. I ordered the one in very good condition. The front and back covers are in really bad shape. Also there are torn pages in the book. It's not what I paid for.

Not worth the $22 I paid for it

Really disappointed. Was looking so forward to it to help my cardiac husband. Could have had more photos
