We were aware of the content prior to ordering, so we knew what we were getting. However, two of the four covers were torn. Since all were for gifts, we were disappointed that they were damaged.

The Most Beautiful Villages and Towns of California
+ A SUPER PHOTO BOOK
+ A photographic journey of small-town California
Was a gift for my husband and he was thrilled. We both loved the photography and reminisced as we had visited alot of the places in it. Can't wait to return. This is a great book for those who think that California is just freeways and clogged cities without charm and visible beauty.

Go For The Gold!
+ Elizabeth Taylor: My Love Affair withJewelry
+ Worth Every Dollar
This book surpasses any written bios of Ms. Taylor. She has masterfully catalogued her acquisitions with quality photographs and a synopsis of who gave her each of the gems and when. I have never appreciated the art and beauty of jewelry until I've seen this book (I never could afford to!).
