    The book arrived swiftly packaged in a protective plastic envelope, but it was a paperback not hardcover as listed. I contacted seller and they apologized, refunded me and suggested several things to do with the book after allowing me to keep it. I have gone ahead and ordered a hardcover from the same seller. I’m a repeat customer and hope to remain so. This mixup was a first, but I’m very impressed with their prompt response and professionalism. Kudos :)

  • A very important book to read

    This book confirms the plan to purposely dumb down the education system in this country. If you can make it hard for children to read it will affect their performance in the rest of their studies and set them up for failure. If you do not believe what I say read the book The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America.This plan goes back well over 100 years ago.
