    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.

  • Just Read Baby!!

    I initially thought I knew everything I need to know about my beloved team, I was wrong. From the second I opened the book I knew I wouldn't put it down. The information given is detailed and strait forward. An easy read and an even better learning experience through the eyes of old coaches, fans and documented reports. I have a newfound joy rooting for my team and hurts my heart knowing I missed the greatest moments in this teams history. It seems a new chapter is unfolding for the raiders, and I will witness!
