Reviews
[Alter's] accomplishment...is almost absurdly impressive. One wants to call it titanic or Olympian or even heroic, but those are the wrong words--pagan words. Alter will have to settle for one of the God-fearing Hebraic terms of praise that stipple his text: 'righteous' or 'strong' or, simply, 'wise.'

- j***x- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseI purchased the book on Nov 1st and was expecting to receive the item no later than the 12th of Nov as stated on eBay. Upon then notifying me that the item was shipped, no TN was provided and I was told USPS doesn’t usually provide one. I found this weird and decided to be patient. I waited 19 days just to find out they knew nothing about whether or not their warehouse even shipped the item to begin with and now I’m processing a refund. Please if you buy make sure to get a TN or stay away.
