    An A+++ Seller! Book arrived safely and was packaged with great care; bubble parcel, bubble wrap, and a strip of stiff cardboard to ensure the book was safe from dings during transit. Purchase was just as described and in excellent preloved condition. I’m so happy to be able to read this title and add it to my personal library. Thank you!

    I purchased a two volume vintage book set. It was offered at a reasonable price and was shipped promptly after my purchase. When it arrived the books were in excellent condition, just as advertised. They had been packed very well for shipping and that ensured that they got to me in pristine condition. I recommend this seller to others.

  • Best historical ever written

    I have read this entire 21 book series 6 times over the last 10 years, and have never read another favorite book more than 3 times. These books are not just about the Royal navy during the Napolianic wars, they speak volumes about human nature, friendship and love in a timeless way. The quality of the hard cover complete set is excellent so far, but I am only halfway through the first book in my 7 reading of the series. In my humble opinion O' Brian is on par with Shakespeare.

  • Okay. Good value, Very thin paper.

    Decent enough but a bit wordy. Printed on extremely thin paper that has absolutely no tooth, which makes it very difficult to turn a single page without having the fiddle with it. For this many pages - well over six thousand, that is a LOT of fiddling. I would rather have paid $50 more and more toothy paper.
