Reviews
"A marvelous yarn, loaded with near-calamitous adventures and characters as memorable as Singer creations." -- New York Post, " A marvelous yarn, loaded with near-calamitous adventures and characters as memorable as Singer creations." -- "New York Post", " What began as a quixotic journey was also a picaresque romp, a detective story, a profound history lesson, and a poignant evocation of a bygone world." -- "The Boston Globe"

As described... A+++ on shipping and price... C (and that's being generous) on time. If you have forever and a month of Sundays to wait around then by all means do so. The price was great and the seller communicated wonderfully and the item was packed well so it wasn't damaged during transit all A pluses in my book just took a little bit longer than I anticipated.
