There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Sadly, despite the description of the book by its seller, it was raggedy when I got it. The cover was faded, warped, dog-eared, and pretty much "beat up from the feet up". The laminate is bubbled-up and the book is separating from the spine. I was planning on giving this as a gift, but I ended up giving away my own copy, instead.

This book is engrossing and essential reading for those who were either 'there' or have interest of that particular period. I can't recommend it highly enough!
