A long overdue positive review.
I just now saw that I've yet to review this book and transaction and am sorry. I very much love it and can't believe I was actually able to purchase a historical textbook from Cambridge. I'm a huge fan of history, specifically the crusades. Great book, deal, and transaction!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
