    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.

  • Luxurious Wallow For Musical Lovers

    Such a gorgeous book! This belongs on every musical lover's shelf. These musicals are essential parts of our entertainment history that only get better with time. Richard Barrios' latest book, (this is his fourth) is a glossy, beautifully illustrated tome which gives introspection into the times these films were made as well as the factors which make these films essential classics. There is not a person who loves musical films who will not love this book.
