Very Good
A book that has been read and does not look new, but is in excellent condition. No obvious damage to the book cover, with the dust jacket (if applicable) included for hard covers. No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. Some identifying marks on the inside cover, but this is minimal. Very little wear and tear. See the seller’s listing for full details and description of any imperfections.

About this product
Product Information
Bill Bryson's bestseller, now available in audio format. Bill Bryson describes himself as a reluctant traveller, but even when he stays safely in his own study at home he can't contain his curiosity about the world around him. A SHORT HISTORY OF NEARLY EVERTHING is his quest to understand everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization - how we got from there, being nothing at all, to here, being us.Bill Bryson's challenge is to take subjects that normally bore the pants off most of us, like geology, chemistry and particle physics, and see if there isn't some way to render them comprehensible to people who have never thought they could be interested in science. It's not so much about what we know, as how we know what we know. How do we know what is in the centre of the earth, or what a black hole is, or where the continents were 600 million years ago? How did anyone ever figure these things out?On his travels through time and space he encounters a splendid collection of astonishingly eccentric, competitive, obsessive and foolish scientists, such as the painfully shy Henry Cavendish, who worked out important conundrums including how much the earth weighed, but failed to report many of his findings. In the company of such extraordinary people, Bill Bryson takes us with him on the ultimate eye- opening journey, and reveals the world in a way most of us have never seen it before.

- t***2 (438)- Feedback left by buyer.More than a year agoVerified purchaseAudio book arrived in good time, haven't tried discs yet but they look to be ok,strangely the audio book( which has 5 discs) has a case designed for 4 with 2 discs being placed one on top of the other to fit in one space, also a small crack on the outside of case, however this doesn't affect the opening & closing, despite these minor issues still a good buy due to the reasonable price paid.

Description spot on. Seller's communication Excellent, very helpful & very pleasant. Packaging Excellent. I was afraid to open package. It's like opening a B'day present w/o the Gift wrap. Postage cost definitely great & very reasonable. Excellent delivery time. Arrived way earlier than predicted, considering our mail usually takes over 2wk, bcoz we're remote. 10Q very much.
- c***e (193)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseVery pleased with the items, as I purchased this with 4 other books. They came as described, on time & well packed. The only minor gripe was that the seller advertised buy 3 books get one free, but at the check out it wouldn't give me the offer until I purchased 4 books then I got a free one. I have used this seller on many occasions & will continue to do so, as they have always provided very good items at a very reasonable price with good serviceViz Annual 2019 The Pieman's Wig: A Hair-Raising Weave of the Best Bits from (#382715947734)
