Reviews
The book covers a period of profound interest ... There is an enormous amount of material here that many people are now becoming aware of, but lack the specialist knowledge to know how to handle or what to make of … It is a model of clarity, with excellent citations of texts., Francis Joannès has produced an excellent work ... His experience gained over many years has enabled him to write this authoritative and informative synthesis of Assyrian and Babylonian history and culture of the first millennium BC.

    Took a while to arrive, but, great book at a great price, as described, good seller. Thanks! A previous book from this seller took only four days to be delivered, while this time it took nearly two weeks. Not sure what's up with that.

    Carefully packaged book- arrived wrapped in plastic bag and shipped in cardboard box. As a frequent book buyer I appreciate this as so many books are just crammed into a plastic shopping bag and sent on their way- sometimes always hanging out of the bag. I know that Midtown Book Seller books will arrive as described. Shipped promptly. I’d highly recommend them as a seller.

    Excellent experience with this eBay used book seller! The books arrived in perfect condition, as described, and their pristine condition exceeded my expectations. What impressed me most was the speed of shipping: the book arrived much earlier than expected. Furthermore, the packaging was careful and professional, ensuring the book arrived undamaged. Thanks a lot! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
