Synopsis
'a genuinely fine imagination' COURIER MAIL on SHADOW The final battle has begun, but whose reality will prevail? Vous has ascended to godhood and Eric and Aziel return to the castle to defeat the Arch Mage. The dragons offer Eric and Aziel a throne and objects of great power, but what do they want in return? Meanwhile, at World's End the new people have made contact. The haiyens say they have come to help, but it is possible that they have another agenda ... Praise for Will Elliott: 'Elliott is an ambitious writer with a weird and dark imagination' THE AGE on SHADOW'a darkly original new arrival on the Australian fantasy scene' BOOKSELLER+PUBLISHER on PILGRIMS, IN THIS DELICIOUS tale, a baker hangs out his shingle on a small street, and soon, the line for his doughnuts stretches down the block. But it's not long before the competition arrives and a battle of the bakers ensues. In the competitive frenzy, both bakers' doughnuts become "quite bizarre, like Cherry-Frosted Lemon Bar, and Peanut-Brickle Buttermilk, or Gooey Coca- Mocha Silk!" Some are not even very tasty: "Donuts made with huckleberry (don't be scared, they're kind of hairy)." One day, Debbie Sue, just barely two, enters the bakery, and searches in vain for her favorite doughnut, where "the choice of donuts left her dazed. Said Debbie Sue, "But I want . . . glazed." A fun lesson in keeping it simple in which our hero chef decides to go back to the basics, and wins over the whole town., IN THIS DELICIOUS tale, a baker hangs out his shingle on a small street, and soon, the line for his doughnuts stretches down the block.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

    I've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
