First, I would like to say that I would order from this seller again and would definitely recommend him or her to friends.
The book came in a timely fashion and has been everything that I hoped for in the way of a storyline. The story itself is one that I have been recommending to friends, especially to Peyton Place lovers. I could not put it down, but I did finish it. Grace Metalious came up with an excellent storyline when she write this book, which definitely scores 100% as well as several gold stars.
