Very disappointed with the way this book is printed

I was excited to get my copy. The book was is very good condition on the outside. I opened it, prepared to spend the day reading, only to realize that it was incomprehensible to say the least. Each page was a copy of two pages from the original text, but printed in portrait fashion. So I could read the first page, but the second page was cut off. On each page of this book, there were two pages crammed together. if this description leaves you confused, image how I felt trying to figure out how to read it!! I will be returning this book ASAP and sticking to penguin house or Amazon! 😠 Maybe one day I'll get to read its contents I'll n a legible way
