Warning: Do not buy The Unofficial LEGO Color Guide by Christoph Bartneck

I was very excited to hear about The Unofficial LEGO Color Guide and ordered one from BookDepository. After a couple of days I received it but there seems to be quite a lot of things wrong with it.

These are the major ones:
All the photos of the parts are quite blurry, they're just not crisp.
The colors printed don't come close to the real Lego colors at all when I compare them
There is a missing photo (just a placeholder saying 'Not Yet Available' at color 123)
Everything from color 102 onwards is missing the similar colors and (part of) the color definitions.

Minor things are some spelling errors and layout mistakes.

I'm pretty disappointed by what I received, I can see Christoph has put a lot of time in this but at the moment it's just absolutely not worth the money. Be wary when looking to buy it, it might be fixed in later prints but don't buy the first print edition!
