Customer Reviews

Scant packaging, missing sections - get what you pay for.

I ordered two four volume sets of City of God. I was pleased at how cheap they were (about 2/3 of average pricing). However, the quality of the books themselves is very mediocre (not as pictured) and the packaging was very minimal, not protective and on one of the sets even completely ripped off, exposing the books and there’s no way to tell that they are new (I bought as a gift). Also, after comparing the books with my own personal set, I found these are not as thick and are missing sections which my copies include. They should have advertised this!

Only one book arrived from the set

I only received the second book in the set and it was not as pictured.
