    Great experience. I ordered a luxury hardcover for which the condition of the book is important and the packing was great and the item was as described. I asked questions during the process and the seller was responsive and helpful. I would definitely buy again from this seller

    Expertly packaged and sent fast at a low price. The pair of books in itself is in fantastic shape which was as the description read.

  • Time as timelessness

    HG Wells was a godfather of sci-fi. The Time Machine is still a brilliant meditation on how our shortcomings as a species/society must be a part of our present day project; the inaugural lesson of all sci-fi. Also, time is a concept that is grossly under-discussed and under-theorized. The Time Machine is to time as Wealth of Nations is to political economy; a great beginning.
