    Got the TV series combat, season 2 volume one from the seller and they shipped it out fast and well wrapped up for the journey. It arrived earlier than listed and in the condition they listed it as being. This is not a series easy to find out side of complete box set yet alone for the great price they sold it for. The seller showed great communication and I'd buy from them again without question. Good series and good seller.

    Book is beautiful, but jacket is worn more than the pictures. Restorable, but annoying. Only wrapped in shipping plastic with no padding or other protection, but fortunately it came through ok. Overall I'm happy with the book, and seller gave a very good price, but should show more better pictures and pack the books better. Anyway, this will be a great addition to my Kubrick collection, and I can recommend the seller.

    Waste of money because it was marked up and crossed out

    The book was written on on every page, red pen circles cross outs and it was basically unreadable for my daughters AP English class. We wasted our money.

    A challenge for someone who likes to read.

    This is a classic; fantastic writing, but very complex. I read it and am not sure what was going on.
