    The bible has arrived well before estimated delivery time and other to a little tear in the packaging, in good order. I assumed from the pictures that it came in a box cover, however, it was unboxed when I received it. This isn’t an issue as the leather cover is in lovely condition and has been well looked after. It was sold at a very generous price including shipping. The seller was very helpful and quick to reply to questions and I would recommend them. Thank you

    Although the description details were misleading, the customer support was rather good. I ordered the 2-volume set of ‘Atlas Shrugged’, but received a single volume. It might not seem like much to others, but it’s a large book and a 2-set volume would have made it easier to read. In addition, poor packaging damaged the DJ. Anyways, after sending firm, yet precise and polite emails, the situation was promptly resolved, hence the positive feedback; and, why I would buy again from the seller. 👍

  • How to deal with life in the face of adversity.

    This is a beautifully written and gripping tale of how young West Indian immigrants came to London in the 1950s determined to make a good life for themselves.The adversities are great, the spirits are high and the fun is exhilarating . The use of the patois is easy to understand and contributes to the authenticity of the story.Although it's a short novel, the reality of post-war London is well drawn .It seems that a lot of fun was to be had in those bleak days, especially for these young West Indians who were hustling to survive. If you're interested in post-war London this novel will make you laugh and cry in equal measure.
