    The Saving Private Ryan DVD arrived in good condition and as described in the description. I received a good quality item at a great price. This seller, ZBK Books, shipped quickly and took care in the packaging. When an issue came up regarding missing items in my order, they were quick to respond to my message and sent a refund promptly. I wish I had my whole order but appreciate their ability to handle an error on their part.

    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.

    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.
