At Least One Selection is Incomplete

I bought this specifically for an audiobook version of Thoreau's "A Winter Walk." However that essay cuts off abruptly after only 5 minutes and the recording proceeds directly into Dickens' "7 Poor Travelers." "A Winter Walk" cuts of after only approximately 2-3 pages of the approx. 30-page essay.

I haven't listened to the other selections but who knows if they are complete or not. I'm not willing to waste my credit to gamble and find out. I'm returning this immediately.

I've pretty much found all the others in different audiobook versions that are complete. Sadly, this truncated version of "Winter Walk" appears to be the only audiobook version of that essay, so I'll just have to go without. My advice to others is to look elsewhere for these selections to make sure you get the complete stories.
