    Ordered a complete set of 4 glassware cups. Seller accidently sent me 3 of the wrong ones. Contacted the seller and they were eventually able to remedy the mistake by locating and sending me the correct glasses. Both packages were packed very carefully and items were in excellent condition and exactly as described when i received the correct items.

    This was the best purchase I’ve made lately. The cards were packed perfectly and neatly, the set was complete every card present just as should be, including the puzzle cards. Set arrived quickly which was a nice surprise for the USPS. I’m super happy with my purchase. Every detail was seen to, I have no regrets or complaints. I give 5 stars to the seller for a super job, the price paid was a reason to buy again from this seller, this was a great deal and I thank him for a stellar transaction!

    Outstanding quality baseball card! Condition is superb with crisp edges and vibrant colors. Great value for the price, and the description was spot-on, matching the card perfectly. Arrived quickly, well-packaged, and as described. Highly recommend this seller for a smooth, trustworthy deal. An MVP in the hobby!

    Great Saga of a Real Family!

    This book is a classic in its own right. It's the first novelized, comprehensive history of not only a real family, but of multitudes of people snatched from their African societies and forced into slavery. It recounts 200 years of kidnappings and human beings being subjugated to a status lower than cattle! It also gives insight into today's world, where the carryovers of attitudes from the days of Slavery; and later Jim Crow and Segregation, are still impacting - and often destroying - the lives of African-American families! I read it long ago, when the first film of the book was released. This time I understand it much better. The recent film went deeper into the cruelty and abuse depicted in the book, and showed more of the emotional impact of what was done to the people, in greater ...

  • Roots, Hard Cover, 1st Edition

    After watching the remake of Roots awhile back, I decided to buy the book to read. The first hundred pages or so, are boring until, he gets captured by the slave traders. Both, of the miniseries (1977 and 2016), don't follow the book completely, but that's Hollywood for you. Alex Haley, must've been heavily influenced by Malcolm X, writing his autobiography for him, because he makes Kunta Kinte a muslim. Still, it's not bad reading.
