    Shipping took longer than expected but it was packaged well. I also do live very far from the seller. The books were as described. One of the books had a stained page but otherwise they looked almost brand new. The value is super great as well considering many sellers were selling this set for over a $100.

    A breath Of Snow And Ashes

    I have read the Outlander series a number of times. Great story, lots of adventure, romance, heart ache, these books have it all. I purchased this one for a friend. Can't wait for book 9

  • Good copy.

    The book is fine. I just wasn't expecting a library copy. While it was listed as very good, I think that was an exaggeration. It was good at best, but it won’t affect my reading of the book anyway.

    Diana Gabaldon has created these beautiful characters in this historical telling about 2 countries in 2 different times. It is compelling and addictive.

  • It is what it is.

    I didn't expect a good hard cover book at this price, so am happy. It's the only hard cover for this series, and I have them all. I love the Outlander series of books and am now enjoying the series on Netflix.
