Accurate item description and pics. Great packing job with great care and emphasis on ensuring the item arrived undamaged using minimum packing materials and with conscientious use of recycled materials. Super-fast shipment at reasonable rate and arriving ahead of schedule. Great communication before and after transaction. Highly recommended A+ / 5 Star seller! Definitely one of my new favorite sellers and will purchase from again. Can't say enough praise for this seller. Highly Recommended!!!!!

This sellers "two day" shipping policy is baloney - it took a over five days and repeated emails before this item shipped. I almost thought I would have to request a refund from eBay. That being said, when it did ship, it was nicely packaged and arrived undamaged. I would not buy from this person again because they don't honor their own policies! I can only leave positive feedback because 1) the item DID arrive, and 2) it was as described. The rest wasn't a great experience.

I dislike complaining, but I'm unhappy with this transaction. The deck/book set, described as "like new," was mailed in such a flimsy envelope that it arrived twisted out of shape, to the point where one of the cards was stuck to exposed glue inside. I wrote to the seller about the situation but received no response. I didn't ask for a return because the price wasn't high, but even at this price I expect more care in packaging. (I have ordered other items from this seller that arrived intact.)

    No Executive Meddling In This Story

    Unlike the adaptation, this book has many things it missed. It has a steady pace, great character development, a thorough reveal, events that the author allows your mind to picture, and it doesn't follow the morality the adaptation follows when it comes to good and bad. Perfect book worth picking up.

    Great book for fans of film noir

    After seeing last year's movie about this case, I wanted to read James Ellroy's book. I loved his description of Los Angeles after the war and the well thought out plot based on the actual case file. I read it in one evening and was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I got caught up in the sad story of this young girl's murder and and also in the story of the policemen trying to solve her murder. It is a haunting experience.

    Disappointed

    I saw the movie and I wanted to read the book to see how much it was like the movie. I could barely get through the first 20 pages. There was too much 40's and boxing jargon that I didn't understand.
