The literary residue that editor Victoria Ranney has harvested in this volume is rich and varied... One awaits ssubsequent volumes in this important series., Once again, the editors of the Olmsted Papers have collected a treasure ripe for looting, this time by students of early California, of landscape design, and of Olmsted's variant of conservative nationalism. Even political historians will find nuggets such as Olmsted's statement that he 'would as soon select a condiate for the Presidency [of the United States] by lot from among New York alderman as take' John Charles Frémont., Once again, the editors of the Olmsted Papers have collected a treasure ripe for looting, this time by students of early California, of landscape design, and of Olmsted's variant of conservative nationalism.

    Package came in great condition to protect my Bionicles. The Bionicles were at a great price that I couldn’t resist and the seller was willing to have them completely disassembled. The bionicles looked brand new so I could tell the seller took great care of them. The seller’s description was very detailed and informative to make sure I knew what I was buying and not missing out. The seller is very friendly, accommodating, and informative and I will gladly do business with them in the future.

    We need more sellers like this. Perfectly packed, arrived fast, better than advertised in terms of condition. I've paid so much more for editions of Being and Event, in horrible condition, but not from this seller. This is the 4th time I've bought this book and this seller is not fooling you. They package it really well, and they even added a second volume, for less than the price of what the first one is usually sold. Support this seller!

    Excellent Seller! My item [The Following - Season 2 (Blu-ray disc, 2014, 3-Disc Set)] was very well packaged for shipping. It arrived quickly, in good condition and quality and is just as described. I consider it to be a good value for the price. I would highly recommend this seller and I would purchase from again, given the opportunity. Thank You!
