I have read this entire 21 book series 6 times over the last 10 years, and have never read another favorite book more than 3 times. These books are not just about the Royal navy during the Napolianic wars, they speak volumes about human nature, friendship and love in a timeless way. The quality of the hard cover complete set is excellent so far, but I am only halfway through the first book in my 7 reading of the series. In my humble opinion O' Brian is on par with Shakespeare.

Decent enough but a bit wordy. Printed on extremely thin paper that has absolutely no tooth, which makes it very difficult to turn a single page without having the fiddle with it. For this many pages - well over six thousand, that is a LOT of fiddling. I would rather have paid $50 more and more toothy paper.

The Aubry/Maturin series has got to be one of the best series ever written on this time period. As a set like this is the only way to buy them as well, because once you started reading you will not want to quit. The characters are all real people who have their ups and down, you can see them as real people who just had their lives documented by the author. 5 stars all the way
Good Will is very fair in pricing, and are excellent in pursuit of their cause.
