Synopsis
A richly woven history of Greenwich Village's Golden Age and of the artists, rebels, and eccentrics who make the Village a cultural phenomenon. Ross Wetzsteon presents a vibrant portrait of the Village through the remarkable and often interrelated stories of its legendary residents, including Eugene O'Neill; Edna St. Vincent Millay; Dawn Powell; the fiery and passionate anarchist Emma Goldman; the pioneering advocate of birth control, Margaret Sanger; and the group of Abstract Expressionists including Jackson Pollock.

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (3,612)
- e***a (272)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseSeller dispatched in approx 24hr. Book as described & all arrived fine as it was perfectly packaged for an international trip from the US to me in the UK. Padded envelope with thick cardboard spacer to keep the paperback straight and the book was snuggly wrapped in a plastic sheet to keep corners tight & unbumped. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT and I wish all sellers shipped books like this. It makes me so happy when sellers pay attention to details - nothing excessive, just perfect. Book even smelt nice :)
- 4***a (451)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe item was as described ("like new"), was dispatched with alacrity and received much earlier than expected. Packaging was exceptional, demonstrating a strong commitment to customer satisfaction. All of this for an item that was priced to be a significant value. This seller gets my highest recommendation.
- 7***3 (86)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseA very trustworthy and communicative seller! The price of the books he sold me was so incredible, that I couldn't believe it until I received them. Books arrived in amazing condition (better than the photos conveyed) and the price and speed of shipping was the best I think I've had on eBay -- books arrived over 20 days before they were supposed to! Will buy from this seller again if I see an item I would like.6 VOLUME SET OF DAVE SIM & GERHARD BOOKS 6, 7, 8, 13 14, 15 GRAPHIC NOVELS (#235896476642)
