How Old Do You Have To Play In Winstar?

i.meridiani.collezione

Mondadori launched a few weeks ago, a new editorial services attached to many of his weekly group is the collection of The Meridiani . For the uninitiated The Meridians are a series of elite that gathers the best of Italian and foreign literature on the model of French Pleiade.

Well, I run at newsstands to grab the first exit in a promotional offer to € (the first volume of the works of Hemingway) convinced of the goodness of the initiative: the library, except in rare promotions, each volume of the collection has a substantial cost (about € 40 ). Disappointment! The book on its back the words 'I Meridiani Collection' and not 'Meridians'. Bookmark not silk. The cover is glued and not sewn. custody and the last page is written that the volume is sold as an attachment to a particular journal. The pages have different color and texture than the original volumes.

The anger is even stronger given that the site Panorama (one of the participating journals) is reported as an advertising slogan less equivocal:
"begins this week the unique publishing initiative that will bring in Italian homes thirty volumes of the series 'Meridians' of the Mondadori. With this issue of Panorama, the reader will have the first volume of the works of Ernest Hemingway with the surcharge one euro. [...]"
This leads to an inevitable depreciation, not only in material terms, the original collection that already, in recent years, had accepted in his catalog authors discuss ...
