Product is 95% alike picture but a little more blurry. Controller play well but had a notice from psn that my joypad wasn't authentic and could by problematic🤷‍♂️ no trouble so far! Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Reluctant Tuscan Review

    This book literally made me laugh out loud, prompting some curious looks from people passing me at the beach where I was lounging and reading. The writer has a humorous, realistic and relatable story telling style. I think many people will be able to identify with approaches, situations and characters even if they never travel to Italy. It is a book I have recommended to many and go back to it often, it has been placed in the "comfort" category along side mashed potatoes and mac & cheese. Ciao!

  • The Reluctant Tuscan

    Laugh out loud. This is a true accout of a successful hollywood writer, stressed as he clamors to stay successful (and in California) but is way-layed by his wife who fenegles him into a years-long project in the slower life of central Italy. If you've visited Tuscany you'll relate to Phil's hilarious observations of his own hyper-expectations of everything and everyone vs. the preference of his new neighbors to enjoy life.
