    The book arrived today in excellent condition; wrapped in protective bubble wrap, and protected in a study cardboard box that was perfect for the book size. The book has sentimental value and I asked Brenham Book Company for extra care to send the book and I was trully impressed by their reply and actions took. Truly a top shelf company that I will use again!!

    Packaged fine, not described as listed at all. It’s very clearly not brand new and a library book. It’s very clear this was false advertising. I 100% was lied to. It’s not new—there were pages dog-eared. The seller was horrible at communicating. It took a very long time to receive, and tracking it was a nightmare and very unclear. I paid $50 for a book that was “brand new.” I was 100% scammed. What a complete joke of a seller. I literally received a library book. It’s definitely not “brand new”

    Item exactly as advertised. Book was expertly packed to avoid damage, carefully packed with bubble wrap, cardboard box. Very quickly shipped with accurate shipping charges. Seller is good communicator, quickly responded to PM, and updated me on shipping. Completely hassle-free transaction!!! Two thumbs up, five stars in all categories, would recommend to others, and would again purchase from!!!

    This book is awesome

    Mr. Hood's Holiday House has stood for a thousand years, welcoming countless children into its embrace. It is a place of miracles where every childhood whim may be satisfied. There is a price to be paid, of course, but young Harvey Swick, bored with his life and beguiled by Mr. Hood's wonders, does not stop to consider the consequences. It is only when the house shows its darker face—when Harvey discovers the pitiful creatures that dwell in its shadows—that he comes to doubt Mr. Hood's philanthropy. But the house and its mysterious architect are not about to release their captive without a battle. Mr. Hood has ambitions for his new guest, for Harvey's soul burns brighter than any he has encountered in ten centuries . . .

    A Dark Fantasy Tale for all ages

    After watching Hellraiser, I was compelled to read the books of Clive Barker. I discovered this book during my teens and it changed me and the way I thought about fantasy. Like the stories of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Roald Dahl, Stephen King, and J.K. Rowling, The Thief of Always is a wild, dark, and childlike adventure that shows you what you should do to spend the time wisely because once the time as a child has gone, it can never be relived again. It's a fable, a morality tale, an adventure, horror, and fantasy novel for children and adults who are children at heart. It's a great book; Clive Barker's prose is engaging and his illustrations are a feast for the eyes of anyone who loves his artwork. I highly recommend it. It's worth the read, especially for children and teens who love ...
