Excellent experience, these are probably the best large bookseller warehouse on eBay , their customer service is personal and responsive and they endeavour to make sure the buyers experience is a good one . Despatched promptly, and this time it was a paperback so it was ok in a polythene envelope. If you are purchasing a heavy hardback , I suggest contacting them in advance, and hopefully they will have implemented robust cardboard packaging to ensure it doesn't get damaged in the post.

Truly blessed to receive this wonderful piece of literature from one of the best online book sellers on eBay! The condition of this book was exactly as described, if not better in appearance than expected, and as always with this business it represents great value and quality for your money! Communication is first class, and their customer service never fails to deliver, leaving you wanting to buy more from them every time you look at their vast collection. Thank you so much, 5 stars again!!!

The item was delivered ahead of expected time. It is as described in good condition. It was competitively priced. There could have been a little bit more packaging on the book corners as it looks like it had been dropped on one corner during transit. Other than that the quality is as expected. I would recommend this ebayer

Fifty connected colourful short stories about Broadway characters in the 1930s, featuring showgirls, big shots, gamblers, and lowlife hoodlums..
The literature is 5 stars, but there are some issues with the print. This 570 page edition from around the millenium contains about 50 short stories, originally collected as `More Than Somewhat', `Furthermore', and `Take It Easy', together with 3 introductions for the UK & Commonwealth reader by EC Bentley. The stories describe incidents in the life of Broadway characters, at the tail end of Prohibition in the early 1930s. These characters include dancing girls and their madames, bartenders, outwardly respectable lotharios, heads of bootlegging gangs and gambling cartels, lower-end hoodlums & pickpockets, professional gamblers, touts, & bookies, journalists, the police, and ordinary residents of the then-poor neighbourhood of 42nd Street. The criminality of these characters is treated ... The literature is 5 stars, but there are some issues with the print. This 570 page edition from around the millenium contains about 50 short stories, originally collected as `More Than Somewhat', `Furthermore', and `Take It Easy', together with 3 introductions for the UK & Commonwealth reader by EC Bentley. The stories describe incidents in the life of Broadway characters, at the tail end of Prohibition in the early 1930s. These characters include dancing girls and their madames, bartenders, outwardly respectable lotharios, heads of bootlegging gangs and gambling cartels, lower-end hoodlums & pickpockets, professional gamblers, touts, & bookies, journalists, the police, and ordinary residents of the then-poor neighbourhood of 42nd Street. The criminality of these characters is treated euphemistically and with little moralising, epecially if it is professional criminality. It is often taken as read that people will act selfishly, and there is a minimum of hypocracy about this. Individually, the early stories of `More Than Somewhat' typically have a problem, a resolution, and something of a twist. The best of them also have a scene of colourful chaos, just before the resolution. Twists are a little difficult in short stories, as it is often easy for the reader to spot seemingly irrelevant information supplied early on, and predict how it will be used later. The style improves in the middle stories of `Furthermore', which are more memorable and take a less direct narrative route to their conclusion. Towards the end of this middle section, things are changing: bootleggers retire and become respectable, and there are hints many others have been killed in gang wars. In the final selection `Take It Easy', Runyon does not say so, but old Broadway is no more. The Depression killed the customer-base and investment for the shows, and there was a talent drain to the new talkies out West. The end of Prohibition caused a sea-change in the mob world, and public toleration of venial crime. The stories move to the race track, the boxing world, and baseball, where there is still some colour left in life. However, overall, the final set of stories lack the energy of the earlier tales. Runyon uses less of his unique style, and there is a sense that he's half-muzzled by a change in public morals. The final story `All Horse Players Die Broke' is romantic, nonetheless. The stories are written in the first person, by a secondary character on Broadway, who hangs around Mindy's restaurant (for reasons which are not made very clear) picking up news. They are told in a direct oral style of someone telling a story, hoping to keep his listeners' attention. The narrative is strong and colourful, with repetition of key facts for comic effect, and using an ideosyncratic present-tense grammar, even when referring to past events. There is added colour from the `monickers' or nicknames, like Dave the Dude, Harry the Horse, Izzy Cheesecake, the Lemon Drop Kid, and Joey Perhaps. However, it is in the colourful comments that the narrator sometimes goes too far for today's tastes. He is rude about the looks of most women over 30 and the grasping nature of attractive showgirls in their 20s, though he is sympathetic to the naivety of teenage dancing girls and how easily they are exploited. There are problems with his unflattering descriptions of Jewish characters, which come uncomfortably close to contemporary Nazi propaganda. Nonetheless, the narrator is a friend and business associate of Jewish characters like chief ticket tout, Sam the Gonoph, and barowner, Good Time Charley Bernstein. On occasion, Italians are also disparaged, as are disabled characters. Collectively, rather like the episodic Arthurian legends, a large number of characters pop up repeatedly, giving a sense of community, and pulling the stories together. In this sense, Mindy's restaurant & Charley's bar serve as Camelot, where returning adventurers come to relate their tales to the narrator and Broadway at large. This aspect of the stories was used to advantage in the musical Guys and Dolls, 1955, which gave an overall impression of Runyon's world, despite focusing on the material from 2 or 3 specific short stories. (See also the contemporaneous musical, 42nd Street, 1932.) Overall, if you can overlook the period sexism & racism, as well as the small and sometimes faint print, then this is a very entertaining take on one of the most colourful districts of 1930s New York.

The inspiration for Guys and Dolls
if you like Guys and Dolls the Musical then read the short stories that inspired it.Meet Nathan Detroit, Sky Masterton at al. This book was read by Roald Dahl in his teens and inspired him too. Runyon was probably the first published story teller to use the historic present throughout.
