    This is my second time buying from this seller and I would definitely place another order in the future. This time I ordered three books and everything went well. The books arrived in great condition, matching the description. As always they are very carefully wrapped. The prices are great and the communication is always very kind and clear.. responses very quickly. Highly recommend this seller.

    This book arrived in good condition and as described and good was good value as were the other books I ordered. Unfortunately the packaging didn't survive Royal Mails handling and this was the only book I received of five I had ordered. I contacted WeBuyBooks and they have been brilliant in trying to resolve the issue of the missing books. They are replacing one that they still have in stock though unfortunately are unable to do so for the other three so are issuing a refund for these.

    This book is exactly as described and in excellent condition. I'm really pleased with the quality and the price I paid which very low and exceptional value for money. The book was very well packaged and dispatched and delivered very quickly in just a couple of days. Excellent communication throughout with the seller. Very friendly, helpful and prompt response. I have bought from this seller a few times and everything has always met or exceeded my expectations.

    Very interesting read.

    I really enjoyed this book. My main criticism is that the dates and author's age at the various stages documented throughout are not made clear. It is therefore hard to relate Quillen's experiences at that age and time. Other than that, it's a great read. I would recommend it.

  • Brilliant book to learn about the Alcatraz!

    We went Alcatraz this Easter holiday. My son, 10 years old was very curious about this jail and wanted to learn more. We bought this book for his 11th birthday and he really enjoyed reading. Won't recommend to read before going to bed though. lots of interesting things you can learn from this book.

  • Real life

    I learned about Jim Quillan when I visited Alcatraz, his story of life in high security prisons was harrowing. He was a bad lad, a tough guy, but he turned his life around, respect is due.
