AOK. Item as described, reasonable condition (as described), excellent price, reasonable packing and shipping time, no problems. Thanks. (Sorry, I don't do star ratings when some are automatic, as it's unfair to buyers to have eBay pre-empt any of the scores. You should complain to eBay, as your star ratings would have been very high.) I can't rate the product until I read it. It's unfair for eBay to require a product rating in order to send feedback! The guys at eBay are heavily into control.

  • The Great Big Book of Everything!

    A great reference to everything you should have learned in school and then some. My kids and I call it "the great big book of everything." Granted, it only supplies short squibs of each topic covered, but it is a good referential starting point. The section on Idioms alone is worth having it on your desk.

  • Excellent Reference Book

    I was impressed when a neighbor told me how they had used this book at the dinner table as their kids were growing up. As I thumbed through hers, I could see that it had information that could be beneficial in broadening my horizons and/or explaining and clarifying the meanings of certain terms. As one example, my knowledge of mythology is very deficient. The information in this book is just what I need to help me become more proficient in this area. I got an excellent deal and have been very pleased with the book.

  • A classic

    A classic... not much else to say~ great for educators
