Literature/Student Book

This product was excellent condition, I also saved a great amount of money. No comparison to campus price or even online bookstores. Recommend for those into the Literary Canon!

Excellent

The book came in excellent condition. It was a book I needed for school and was just what I was looking for.

This is a great book

Great book that arrived in great condition. There are some great stories and poems in this book. One of my favs so far is "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson and "Two Kinds" by Amy Tan.

One hell of a book!

This is one of the best anthologies I have ever read. It is filled with poetry, short stories, and dramas (plays) by a myriad of different authors. Anyone who buys this book is certain to get their money's worth.
