Terrible Format on ISBN 9781530594887 by Jefferson Publication

I ordered a brand new condition of ISBN 9781530594887 from Createspace Independent Publishing. This was the only edition available when I was shopping. When it arrived the ISBN and cover matched, but it says Jefferson Publication. I don't know if that make a difference, maybe the company changed names. This is like a pdf that was not divided into pages, it just flows from from beginning to end. The table of contents and chapter one are on the same page for example. This would not be a huge deal for me except that it cost $10 and is junk. BUT, the end result of this poor formatting is that all the footnotes are in random places like the middle of the page, and in the same font as the main text making it super confusing and difficult to read. I would not recommend buying this, especially if you are ordering for a kid who will probably be more confused and frustrated.
