Stahl's Illustrated Antipsychotics: Treating Psychosis, Mania and Depression 2nd Edition

I like what I have read and it easy to understand.

Well written, so easy to understand.

Older edition; newer drugs are thus not included

This book, "Stahl's Illustrated Antipsychotics," is one in a series of "Stahl's Illustrated [psychiatric texts] " and I expected it to be printed in color on quality paper like others in the series I've ordered and received. But this one is printed in black & white on cheap paper. The cost was not less than for the companion texts printed in color, and in fact the preface to this black-and-white disaster states "All concepts are illustrated in full-color images." Well, they are not, and it is a depressing and difficult book to read, because most of the pages are given over to illustrations with legends that refer you to "the pink X" and so forth, quite hard to distinguish in black and white. Perhaps this book was part of a misprinted run, but there seems no reasonable avenue to discover that. I could return the book to the seller, Amazon, but I want the information, so I would have to try an exchange, which is too much trouble for what I think is no chance of success (I could find no provision for a customized Amazon return complaint that would indicate the nature of the defect). I am annoyed with the lack of quality control of the book's publisher, Cambridge University Press, but more so with Amazon for providing no reasonable way to submit an inquiry about a defect that is probably pervasive in the stock on hand.

I was expecting it to be colored print.
