    • Interesting tale
    • I had expected more out of this book than I got. I suppose it was a bit off putting to be reading about a wealthy guy's travel when I couldn't afford most of what he did. I did appreciate some...

    • The textbook was in good shape. It came in a decent amount of time, and how it was described was how it came.
      Good value for the shape it came in.
