    Received a beautiful 1960's vintage Nikkor lens for a fair price, minimal description was accurate, poorly packaged for USPS handling, but lens arrived just fine. I'm very happy with my purchase from seller traderjims.

    Jim was very communicative and transparent. There was a small mishap with shipping that put the transaction in doubt, but Jim was quick to offer a refund. Turns out the package got a little lost in the system but made its way to me and the camera worked as described.

    Great Saga of a Real Family!

    This book is a classic in its own right. It's the first novelized, comprehensive history of not only a real family, but of multitudes of people snatched from their African societies and forced into slavery. It recounts 200 years of kidnappings and human beings being subjugated to a status lower than cattle! It also gives insight into today's world, where the carryovers of attitudes from the days of Slavery; and later Jim Crow and Segregation, are still impacting - and often destroying - the lives of African-American families! I read it long ago, when the first film of the book was released. This time I understand it much better. The recent film went deeper into the cruelty and abuse depicted in the book, and showed more of the emotional impact of what was done to the people, in greater ...

    Roots, Hard Cover, 1st Edition

    After watching the remake of Roots awhile back, I decided to buy the book to read. The first hundred pages or so, are boring until, he gets captured by the slave traders. Both, of the miniseries (1977 and 2016), don't follow the book completely, but that's Hollywood for you. Alex Haley, must've been heavily influenced by Malcolm X, writing his autobiography for him, because he makes Kunta Kinte a muslim. Still, it's not bad reading.
