Unacceptable Print Quality Dirty Pages and Paper Thin as Tissue. Worst Print Quality I’ve Ever Seen.
I am extremely disappointed with the print and paper quality of this book. It was extremely hard to read and bad quality. The pages are covered with heavy ink dirt and speckling throughout, making it look like a defective or poorly maintained printing machine was used. Please see photos. It is distracting, unprofessional, and unacceptable for a published book. On top of that, the paper is extremely thin and fragile. It feels cheap, is easy to tear, and almost transparent. I have never seen such poor-quality paper used in a book before. It gives the impression of cost-cutting at the expense of basic quality standards. Overall, the book looks badly printed, poorly produced, and not fit for sale. This is one of the worst print qualities I have ever encountered, and it seriously undermines the value of the content inside. I would not recommend this edition to anyone.

"Fluent in Awkwardness!"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As someone who has spent years mastering the art of nodding and smiling in English conversations, this book was a game-changer. Before diving into *English Conversation*, my small talk skills were so bad that even Siri would say, "I'm sorry, I didn't catch that." Now, after just a few chapters, I can confidently engage in riveting conversations about the weather, awkward elevator rides, and how Mondays are universally awful. This book has equipped me with phrases like "How about that local sports team?" and "So, working hard or hardly working?"—perfect for blending in at any office coffee machine. It even taught me how to strategically laugh at jokes I don't understand, which, let's be honest, is most of them. The chapter on "How to Politely Exit a Boring Conversation" alone is worth the price of the book. I now know at least 10 different ways to pretend I have an urgent email to attend to or suddenly remember an important meeting. My social awkwardness has never been so well-disguised. In short, this book is a must-have for anyone looking to upgrade their small talk from "cringe-worthy" to "mildly entertaining." If you're like me and often find yourself trapped in conversations that feel like a scene from a bad sitcom, *English Conversation* will be your new best friend. Just remember to actually practice speaking out loud—unless, of course, you're planning to become a professional mime.
