Synopsis
In the eyes of Britain's heritage industry, London is the traditional home of empire, monarchy and power, an urban wonderland for the privileged, where the vast majority of Londoners feature only to applaud in the background. Yet, for nearly 2000 years, the city has been a breeding ground for radical ideas, home to thinkers, heretics and rebels from John Wycliffe to Karl Marx. It has been the site of sometimes violent clashes that changed the course of history: the Levellers' doomed struggle for liberty in the aftermath of the Civil War; the silk weavers, match girls and dockers who crusaded for workers' rights; and the Battle of Cable Street, where East Enders took on Oswald Mosley's Black Shirts. A People's History of London journeys to a city of pamphleteers, agitators, exiles and revolutionaries, where millions of people have struggled in obscurity to secure a better future.

    A used OOP CD was purchased on 10-6, shipped on 10-8, and delivered by USPS Media Mail on 10-11. Item received was like new as described and was resealed in shrinkwrap. One could tell it was used by the few bends and creases on the front cover of the booklet. Otherwise it appeared to be brand new. The CD was professionally packaged by being placed between two pieces of cardboard and shipped inside a padded envelope. The care in packing and fast shipping made for a great purchasing experience.

    Great seller. Everything was packaged SO WELL and shipped quickly. I was anxious ordering glassware, especially pieces as rare as this, but everything came completely in tact. Pictures were accurate and items were as described.
