Given that William Morris is better known for his art than his writing, and that reprints of "The Well at the World's End" are available from multiple sources, I was looking for a book with an attractive cover, for a Christmas gift. The online image from this seller shows an angelic-looking woman and the title and author's name in an attractive typeface. The book that I was sent, though, had plain, gray boards and felt cheaply manufactured. I should have sent it back, but didn't have much time - I made my own dust jacket with the help of downloaded images and a trip to FedEx Office.... not quite the same, though. I know hardbacks are expensive to produce and the book business is hurting, but I still think this purchase was an overpriced ripoff.
