    Book was "nearly new" and "as described" in listing. The advertised price was fair and a good value. Unfortunately, the seller's shipping partner was very slow to get the book packaged and shipped. Shipping took too long, and the tracking info gave no reliable info on shipping date, time in transit or expected delivery. Seller did everything right, but their shipping partner needs improvement. I recommend this seller to other eBay buyers....... just make sure you're okay with the shipping terms.

    The listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.

    This 2DVD set is in perfect condition. Cover art and case like new. Both DVDs played with no flaws. Description was listed as “Good”; I would describe it as “Very Good”, basically Like New. Delivery was super fast and packaging was excellent. The DVD case was wrapped well, then put in a cardboard envelope that was sturdy and hard to open (this is NOT a negative!). I have purchased from this company a few times and have always been very satisfied. Prices are great.

  • A good comedy, that sadly financially broke Buster from personally financing another movie.

    Wanted an old unique silent comedy. Heard that this movie was Buster Keaton's last movie he directed, financed and acted in. So I bought the movie, and wasn't disappointed. Mildly surprised with the 3 bonus films that there included.

  • The General: 2001 Kino release, with 2 shorts -

    An older dvd release -NOT public domain- but good quality, with approp. score. For those unaware, this film is normally in the "top 50" films of ALL time. Yes, a silent, but it IS that good. Show your children, explain the history of silent film to them, explain that 'talkies' were initially considered a mere novelty . . . While this is a totally acceptable release, tech advances in restoring silent film have taken tremendous strides in the last 20 yrs. IF a title of interest, consider this film in a later Kino 'ultimate edition', or a Cohen Media 2K restoration. In any form, marvellous cinema awaits you!

  • Great MOvie from the silent movie era

    This is a classic 1927 silent movie. It is sort of a comedy, but has remarkable stunts on a steam locomotive that are truly amazing. There is a final scene where a locomotive runs off a trestle and into the creek. Buster Keaton was quite a stunt man. This movie still ranks in the top 50 all time movies ever made.
