  • Wonderful historical novel of the First World War told in a gripping way. Never has knowledge been so pleasantly supplied!

    I am an AVID reader! I used to spend a fortune on books and hours at the library until I found the "used book" section of e-bay! I now spend a fraction on the same books I once purchased. You can tell these books were once in someone else's hands but so what? They are clean, non-torn, and complete. I haven't found any money in any of them yet though. Words are words and if they come at a budget price or full price what does it matter? I am so thankful for e-bay and their used books. BTW I have never searched a title that I did not find!
