This was a very positive transaction, my first with this seller. The item was precisely as described. It was packed with great care and the shipping was timely. I was touched by the note enclosed stating that the seller was using proceeds from his site to pay off his student loans. Kudos!

  • LongRead

    Takes too long to read. Woodward is a good researcher and a great staff, however, it takes him 4 pages what should take two paragraphs. Then you lose interest.....and fast forward. Great subject matter but needs a different writing style
