AOK. Item as described, reasonable condition (as described), excellent price, reasonable packing and shipping time, no problems. Thanks. (Sorry, I don't do star ratings when some are automatic, as it's unfair to buyers to have eBay pre-empt any of the scores. You should complain to eBay, as your star ratings would have been very high.) I can't rate the product until I read it. It's unfair for eBay to require a product rating in order to send feedback! The guys at eBay are heavily into control.

  • Love it, but don't leave it

    All Bill Bryson books are great reads. His unique point of view, and off-beat sense of humor shine.

  • anny book by bryson is so worth a read!

    any book by bryson is so worth a read..i savored every page with its variety of fabulous historical insight..history should be taught using this book because the information is easy to retain..the quality and quantity of his research alone is worthy of much praise.

  • Very Good Read

    This book is exceptional. It is quite entertaining, and at the same time it is full of fascinating information. I learned quite a lot about my country, while laughing out loud. Bill Bryson is one of my top favorite authors.

  • A must have for the Anglophile...

    Cleaver...BUY THIS BOOK NOW!! A must have if you love the English language. Beats texting while driving..

  • Made in America by Bill Bryson (1996)

    THE QUALITY OF THE BOOK IS GOOD, I BOUGHT THIS BOOK BECAUSE OF ITS TITLE. I WAS CURIOUS WHAT'S INSIDE THE BOOK.
