I bought this book to make a gift, I'll have to find something else. The article arrived two and a half weeks after the order, and the smell is absolutely abominable. A kind of mold mixed with a chemical smell. Just by manipulating the book, the smell remains on the hands. I have to wonder if it is not treated with dangerous products. The smell is so strong that I had to put the book in a sealed plastic bag, placed in a cabinet, in a closet. I hope that in time it will dissipate but otherwise, I do not even see how I'll keep this. Obviously, the return is impossible. Big disappointment.
