    Exceptional service from a very reliable seller. They were offering a long-out-of-print book at a very reasonable price. On checkout I was given a 10% discount code; the book was dispatched with free postage, followed by an email advising they were giving a refund because they considered the book was not in as good a condition as advertised. The book arrived two days later, well-packaged and in great condition too. Thank you WeBuyBooks, I’m happy to recommend such exemplary service.

  • Interesting and insightful

    Simon Raven was an excellent writer; never more so than in this book. A subtitle might be The Influence of the Classics on the English Public School System', which was in fact the title of Raven's unfinished postgraduate thesis. The usual names crop up: Sir Robert Birley, Raven's Headmaster, later Headmaster of Eton; J F Roxburgh of Stowe; Matthew Arnold; Thomas Arnold... There are amusing, as well as currilous anecdotes, and tales of sexual delinquency, as Raven's devoted readers would expect, along with great erudition and humour. It is interesting to note how different the top Public Schools are, or were then. There is a perception that they all to some extent copy Eton. This is clearly not the case. Some are more intellectual than others; some play certain sports which the others never ...
