Good. The pages are sun faded and slightly yellowing There is some crinkling to some of the pages possibly from water We flipped through this book and didn't notice any notes or underlines. The cover has visible markings and wear. Some corner dings. There are some tears on the corners of the spine but doesn't effect biding Fast Shipping-Each order powers our free bookstore in Chicago and sending books to Africa!
I enjoyed this book. I like books from this period of history. Not a great book but a good book. I bought it because I liked Gates of Fire by the same author.

Well done
Well done and immaculately pieced together telling of a time of pre Western Civilization from which there is little written history. It makes the case for believing that the Amazons are no more mythology than the North American Mohican tribe. The parallels that Pressfield draws so beautifully between the culture of the Plains Indians and the tribes of the Black Sea Steppe bring to living, breathing and exquisite detail the sublime poignancy of human evolution and the inevitable clash of cultures that results in the ruin and extinction that evolution brings. I think it's one of his finest historical efforts.
