    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

  • "Review Title"? What does that even mean?

    You might have to be an ancient history buff & receptive to Durant's charmingly pedantic style to fully appreciate this volume, but I am both. I've just started it & my progress will be slow, but it's a great book. (The only other volume in the series I've read is "Caesar & Christ"--superb.) This copy is old but in very good shape. The price was more than reasonable & it arrived in good time.
