Synopsis
Richard Yates, who died in 1992, is today ranked by many readers, scholars, and critics alongside such titans of modern American ficiton as Updike, Roth, Irving, Vonnegut, and Mailer. In this work, he offers a spare and autumnal novel about a New England prep school. At once a meditation on the twilight of youth and an examination of America's entry into World War II, A Good School tells the stories of William Grove, the quiet boy who becomes an editor of the school newspaper; Jack Draper, a crippled chemistry teacher; and Edith Stone, the schoolmaster's young daughter, who falls in love with most celebrated boy in the class of 1943.

Seller feedback (62,985)
- s***c (411)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseCould not be happier with this purchase. Always concerned about shipping electronics or anything fragile but this was perfect. Extremely well packaged, fast shipping (although FedEx had a minor 1 day delay), shipping price and communication was exceptional. Would definitely purchase anything from this seller, thank you so much !!
- i***4 (4)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseShipping was fine, value was there for a loose cart of a 3 year old game, and it was in the box as described. But the packaging was terrible, just wrapped in a see through bag with a bit of padding? No paper envelope or nothing around this cartridge even though it’s about the size of an SD-card is insane to me. Other than that good purchase.
- a***m (103)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseIn my 25 years of audio purchases, I have NEVER seen such quality packaging. Grills removed, surrounded by wrap and boxed separately, drivers covered with cardboard and gaffer tape, speaker corners protected with styrofoam. ASTOUNDING job to ensure I received my fairly priced item as described. I was truly impressed, so much that I'll follow their sales from now on. It is SO VERY RARE to get items shipped properly. Hats off to this seller. Sincerely, one happy customer.
