About this product

Product Information

The Alps have seen the march of armies, the flow of pilgrims and Crusaders, the feats of mountaineers and the dreams of engineers-and some 14 million people live among their peaks today. In The Alps, Stephen O'Shea takes readers up and down these majestic mountains, journeying through their 500-mile arc across France, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Germany, Austria and Slovenia. He explores the reality behind Hannibal's crossing; he reveals how the Alps have influenced culture from Frankenstein to Heidi and The Sound of Music; and he visits the spot of Sherlock Holmes's death scene, the bloody site of the Italians' retreat in the First World War and Hitler's notorious Eagle's Nest. Throughout, O'Shea records his adventures with the watch makers, salt miners, cable-car operators and yodelers who define the Alps today.

I think this item (which was one of four bought at the same time as part of a special offer) had to be re-despatched. I told them it didn't arrive with the other books so they made arrangements to get it to me ASAP. They said it would be despatched within 48 hours and it was despatched within 24. I had it on my doorstep in 3 days, in very good condition as described. Very happy with the price and the service, highly recommended seller. Very professional.

Really pleased with the book 📚 being just as described. Really low price and good value for the money. Dispatched and delivered quickly. Good packaging. Good communication with the seller and would most definitely buy from them again and highly recommend.

OVER SOME TIME NOWI HAVE PURCHASED SEVERAL BOOKS FROM WOB. ALL ARRIVED IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, ON TIME AND WERE WELL PACKAGED. THE LAST BOOK WAS NOT AS DESCRIBED ETC AND I EMAILED THE COMPANY TO SAY HOW DISAPPOINTED I WAS WITH MY LATEST PURCHASE. I RECEIVED A REPLY BACK ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AND WAS OFFERED EITHER A REPLACEMENT OR A REFUND. NO QUIBBLES, NO ARGUMENTS, NO STRESS. THIS IS HOW I JUDGE THIS COMPANY BY THERE CUSTOMER SERVICE WHICH WAS ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT. I WILL ORDER AGAIN. THANKS
