    Very smooth transaction with the seller. Once my offer was accepted, I got the notification and it was prepared and shipped soon after. The condition of the books was great, considering these are more than 20 years old. Shipping cost was understandable, the box was super heavy. It arrived with one side of the box torn but that was probably a USPS thing given how heavy the box was. 100% recommend the seller and these books based on my experience. Thank you!

    Excellent companion guide to study of Dante's Divine Comedy

    This book is a collection of 15 essays that provide background and perspective while reading the Divine Comedy, as well as give a summary of what is known about Dante's life. Three chapters are particularly useful: Introduction to Inferno, Introduction to Purgatorio, and Introduction to Paradiso. Scholarly (useable as sources for writing school papers) but accessible reading.
