A great variety of books for beginner readers, and great price for the Lot of 10 books. The books arrived as described, were packed carefully and shipped promptly. I’m a repeat customer here and would highly recommend this Seller and Shop!

I ordered 2 books from this seller; this one was exactly as described and in good condition. The other is even better, but covered in other feedback. I would say that this seller's books are in better condition than other online used bookstores for the same price. The books were well wrapped, again better than other online used bookstores. Shipping was free which is always a plus. The books came quickly considering sometimes roads are closed due to high winds here. Very happy with purchase!

    City of fallen angels

    Fast delivery. Book is good but not as good as 'midnight in the garden of good and evil'.

    a good history of Venice and it's Venetians...

    Reads like a travelog and people really aren't too interesting...was looking for a plot. The Ratman was a disgusting story. Took awhile to get into the book.

    the city of falling angels

    I loved Venice when I was there. This book is about the city and its society. Apparently it is similiar to Midnight in the garden of good and evil in its feel I liked the book very much. The book is filed in Italian History.
