    1st edition, 2nd impression edition of "The Drunken Forest," by Gerald Durrell is as pictured & described. Arrived quickly & safely! Got a great deal on it! Great communication! The book, with a protective mylar cover, was wrapped in bubble wrap, then wrapped in sturdy cardboard, then placed in a rugged bubble mailer! Fort Knox in a mailer! So hard to get an early edition of this classic! So happy to add to my growing collection of nature & science books! Thank you! !!Seller Highly Recommended!!

    This delivery was earliest date! Condition, value, quality - all as described. (My mistake was not requiring the publishing date to be 1958. This was 1977.) This IS a Viking Portable Library copy of Dante's Divine Comedy in English, translated by Laurence Binyon, but it is with a cover DIFFERENT from what was shown. The tracking number was listed as from "UPS", but should have been listed as from "USPS." Contact with this seller alleviated tracking issues. I recommend this seller! Thank you!

  • Amazing

    I’ve based my life on three books. The 48 laws of power, seven habits of highly effective people, and this one. THE book to buy. I read this in middle school when i bought it at a yardsale. Once i left it outside and it rained on it, buying again bc i love it, and i’d buy ten copies if i had to.

  • Still the most practical guide to screenplay structure and writing

    There are far more comprehensive books on Screenwriting (Story, by Robert McKee is probably the Bible but this was one of the first and in my opinion is still the most practical. I can hold much of the information contained in this book in my head as I write. Although it is not the same, slim volume I bought back when it first came out. It's been added to considerably since then.
