Synopsis
Published in 1950, his first novel was acclaimed by Gore Vidal as Splendidly written, precise, short, complete and fine. It is the story of a wealthy, fiftyish American widow, recently a famous stage beauty, but now drifting. The novel opens soon after her husband's death and her retirement from the theatre, as Mrs. Stone tries to adjust to her aimless new life in Rome. She is adjusting, too, to aging (The knowledge that her beauty was lost had come upon her recently and it was still occasionally forgotten.) With poignant wit and his own particular brand of relish, Williams charts her drift into an affair with a cruel young gigolo: As compelling, as fascinating, and as technically skilled as his plays. ( Publishers Weekly ), This fifth edition continues to improve on the features that have made it the market leader. The text offers a flexible organization, enabling instructors to adapt the book to their particular courses. The book is both complete and careful, and it continues to maintain its emphasis on algorithms and applications. Excellent exercise sets allow students to perfect skills as they practice.

The seller also messaged me as soon as the purchase went through so communication was great. This was the last book in the series that I needed and to be able to find it in such great condition and at a great cost was unexpected. Highly recommend this seller and will definitely buy from again in the future.MARTIN THE WARRIOR (REDWALL) By Brian Jacques - Hardcover **BRAND NEW** (#187149385105)

The seller met two out of three categories I look for when judging my purchasing experience: how well it was packaged, how quickly it was shipped, and how properly it was described; this seller provided prompt shipping and an accurate description, but failed when it came to packaging. The item arrived in a plastic bag without any reinforcement or protection whatsoever and suffered dinged corners on multiple fronts.
