    Overall, it went well. Good communication. I wanted the book to be shipped in a box, because the value and scarcity of the volume I purchased deserved it, however, the company is too large and I was informed the book would be shipped in a plastic mailer. Somehow it didn’t arrive very damaged, a little bump, but for the price I can’t complain. Over all I am satisfied, but if you’re a book collector, as I am, you may want to find another seller.

    This company has been, in my experience, a mixed bag. This title was NOT worth the price because it came with highlighting, ink underlineing & writing in the margins...not the quality that they advertised. I have on other occasions gotten books in great condition, however, that were listed in less than the condition advertised so it goes both ways...but I'd much prefer a company that delivers exactly what they advertise. I guess good help is hard to find. The book was well packaged & came fast.

  • Demented and Devouring Historical Hysteria

    Grady Hendrix was a recent find on Books of Horror, a FB group I frequent. I was reluctant to purchase this used copy at $12, but it was well worth the money. Every page is brilliantly illustrated with hilarious horror paperback covers and amusing commentary. I'm only half way through (trying to savor every word), but I can confidently say that anyone with a sense of humor and an appreciation of this era of horror publications will be delighted with this entertaining and insightful tome.

    Hilarious and brilliant. The only downside is all the money I am going to spend searching out and purchasing all of these out of print books.
