    The book was accurately described, a great price, delivered fast, well-packaged. Excellent service from I seller I would be happy to buy from again but the seller was very slow in responding to questions asked to clarify the description.

    Thank you very much for the feedback I appreciate every piece I recieve however I have to disagree over slowness of responding you messaged in the evening twice . I responded very early the next day I’m not sure how you class that as slow I aim to reply with lass than 24 hour which is fast than a lot of sellers.

    Item as is listed, used but in VGC. Fast, safe & securely packaged shipping & good comms. The book “Design And Analysis Of Reliability Studies” by Graham Dunn, Hardback, published by OUP, C.1989 was delivered on time with tracking. It’s a very good & valuable treatise on the topic. Excellent offer & Seller, highly recommended. Thanks!

    Does what it says

    Anyone interested in what used to happen to unmarried mothers in Ireland because of religion should read this true story by a respected jrnalist. Had no idea of the traumas caused until watching the film starring Dame Judi Dench and had to learn more.

    Very disappointing.

    The film was really good and about Philomena. The book is about her son, his homosexuality and how that didn't work alongside his chosen career within American politics of the era. There is very little about Philomena. It feels like the author hasn't really got enough material for the book so he makes it up as he goes along with a fictional feel to it. If you have seen the film please don't read this book, you'll be so disappointed.

  • An already written book rebranded

    This book is almost identical to The lost child of Philomina Lee. It was put out & rebranded after the film (which was great but not factual). I bought it as I thought it was a new book . Disappointed as I’d already read the original which was interesting. Not really the story of Philomina but her son Micheal.
