Book arrived on time. The wrong dust jacket was on the book, but the seller was very nice and immediately offered return or partial credit. Very easy to work with this seller. $10 shipping for a hardback seemed a little pricey although it’s been a while since I’ve mailed a book. Thanks for a great transaction.

The book showed wear, but nothing that I wouldn't have done myself over the course of reading it. It just shows that it was good enough that someone else took a lot of time with it because of it's message. I'm pleased. Ordinarily I would have protested the shipping, but the sellers deducted the cost from the book's value, so I figured it all worked out and I have a good bible study book for show for it all. Thanks

When my ordered book didn’t show up, I texted. I got a prompt response and they sent a replacement which I received in a timely manner. I was impressed with their service.

  • The Great Big Book of Everything!

    A great reference to everything you should have learned in school and then some. My kids and I call it "the great big book of everything." Granted, it only supplies short squibs of each topic covered, but it is a good referential starting point. The section on Idioms alone is worth having it on your desk.

  • Excellent Reference Book

    I was impressed when a neighbor told me how they had used this book at the dinner table as their kids were growing up. As I thumbed through hers, I could see that it had information that could be beneficial in broadening my horizons and/or explaining and clarifying the meanings of certain terms. As one example, my knowledge of mythology is very deficient. The information in this book is just what I need to help me become more proficient in this area. I got an excellent deal and have been very pleased with the book.

  • A classic

    A classic... not much else to say~ great for educators
