Reviews
"Clear and compelling, these lectures are at once more than accessible and often startlingly informative. In his characteristically lucid and incisive way Forrester makes Freud new and intriguing. This book is that rare thing, a book as much for the curious as for the knowledgeable. The best book on Freud for many years."

It will always be there for us. To understand it, we can do no better than to look to Forrester." Chronicle of Higher Education

    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
