    The seller was very responsive and answered me on a timely matter. The product itself came in its packaging and was new, not used at all. The packaging was not beat up or anything, safely delivered to my mailbox. No mix ups and zero stress with delivery. The price for the product is completely understandable for the product. I really appreciate the seller and I am very happy to have purchased through this seller. Completely trustable!

    Leaving positive feedback because 1) item was packed well & arrived as described 2) seller did give partial refund when subsequent price dropped below org purchase price. 3) communication was quick However, there was a downside to this transaction -item listed as in-stock but ended up waiting nearly a month for them to get it from their distributer then ship it to me (bought June 29th, arrived around July 21). Auction said 12-15 days. Better clarity would have prevented lot of frustration

    The Long Good-Bye

    This book was recommended by one of the lists as one of the best 100 mysteries written in the 1900's/ or a classic. I loved the book at the start but about three-quarters through, found it redundant and repetitive. The writing was excellent in parts -- published in the 1950's, it probably wouldn't have survived a great editor today. I read it for my mystery book club and in the end, I am not sure I would recommend it, as I thught it too long. The man character. Philip Marlowe did help set the standards for a Private Investigator -- honest, smart -- but he was almost "too virtuous" in some ways to be "true". I am not certain I would recommend it really, although I will remember it, so maybe.

    Page turning Classic. A must in your reading list.

    Classic from page one to the end. I'm just getting into the older "masers" of this craft and it is great!
