DSM IV TR I sure wasnt expecting the First Indian Edition printed in 2005. If I had saved the packing I would have shipped it back. It makes me very leary of ordering from Amazon again.

The binding broke Even though book arrived shrink wrapped and quickly, the first time I opened it, pages began to break out of the book's binding. It appeared to have been re-glued at some point. I would not have bought the book if I had known about the binding's condition. It wasn't mentioned in the summary.
Misrepresented product I thought I was purchasing an authentic DSM IV. To my great dismay, this is not an original publication it is a very poorly made photocopied and/or scanned version. I question if this is allowed under copyright laws. Very disappointed with this purchase.
