    This book is exactly as described and in excellent condition. I'm really pleased with the quality and the price I paid which very low and exceptional value for money. The book was very well packaged and dispatched and delivered very quickly in just a couple of days. Excellent communication throughout with the seller. Very friendly, helpful and prompt response. I have bought from this seller a few times and everything has always met or exceeded my expectations.

    The item was a great price and arrived quickly. Unfortunately it was damaged, potentially in transit as the box was battered and ripped. I notified the seller and asked for an exchange. The seller replied within a day and said they did not have a replacement they could send, so instead refunded me the total cost. This was really kind and much appreciated! Wonderful customer service!

    Great seller for value for money and speedy delivery. They only let themselves down with the very poor packaging. Book came in just a thin plastic parcel bag. The item was still as described but with corners more dented due to the poor packaging. I recommend seller as they are honest and great for value. However, be aware that the packaging gives no protection from bending or dents from the delivery process. Hopefully they will address the packaging issue 😊

    Jack Aubrey novels of Patrick O Brian

    If you have not read any of these novels I envy you, what a wonderful treat Awaits you. Start at the beginning with Master and Commander and you Will have the pleasure of about eighteen more stories to come. The author Is probably the greatest novelist of the 20th century. The subject is Nelson -s navy and the war at sea , but much much more than that.

    Realistic and exceptional

    5th book in the master and commander series by Patrick O'Brian who according to the Sunday Times is the best historical novelist of all time. I find the novels compelling, easy reading but don't take my word the many professional reviews have already said it all. There are 20 novels in the series and I intend to read them all.

    Yup. The island is desolate.

    O' Brian is a master of fiction. But this is not fiction alone - the series is based around real historical events.
