    All in all I am happy with this seller despite the circumstances. I ordered a brand new item, but when it arrived it was a retired library book. An error on the seller's part, which they made EVERY effort to correct once they were made aware. Communication with them was direct, reciprocated and honest. I was given options in regards to the error in my order, and we settled on a partial refund. This is more courtesy and effort than I've experienced with other sellers on Ebay, so thank you. Cheers

    This book was never shipped. After I purchased this book (LAST ONE, according with the seller), the sellers page uploaded "another" book: same title, same photo, same description, with a price five times of the original. After reviewing this seller's feedback, one learns it's something he does frequently. Sell a book, refuse to honer the sale, list the same book at a higher price. I should've check the feedback, my mistake. Seller responded with tracking, several days later still not shipped.

    New quality as indicated. Price was very competitive. Arrived in good condition. The picture is of the 3rd Edition, but the 4th Edition was shipped, which was ok with me. Appearance is a little different as the cover isn't the same but again that's ok. Shipping seemed a little long, but I wasn't in a super hurry so a few more days was ok, plus it came book class which takes a little longer and tracking isn't as good. Overall, I would buy from again.

    The title touches on one of the great mysteries about the woman in the book

    This book helped me look into the life of a rich eccemyyric woman. It was well researched and well written. Plus one of the mansions is in my home town

  • Thought Provoking about what to do with your wealth, rich or poor

    I like the book so much I bought 4 copies for friends and recommended it to others. There were lots of good questions, that came up as I read it, that I'm still contiemplating the answers. Definitely thought provoking and really interesting :-)

  • Awesome

    Expertly researched and compiled in an easy to read format. Chapters are short so I was able to take breaks without feeling like I had pages to go until I can stop. The story is engaging and mysterious. I am saddened that the father (AW Clark) is treated as historically insignificant. Before reading this book I knew nothing of this man, who by all accounts was a fair businessman, helped people get rich and was generally liked. He was a one term senator plagued by scandal for trying to "buy" his election --- that never happens. That is the entirety of his character flaws. I'm still reading the book so this is an interim review.

  • A very entertaining story!

    I found this to be a very good, not great, read. The book was a superb introduction to individuals who, for myself, were obscure figures. Well researched and documented. Well worth my time and investment.
