The item was as described in the listing, packaged well for shipping and arrived sooner than expected. Edgar Lee Masters, a prolific writer, wrote one masterpiece and several works of uneven quality- yet there are moments of beauty and grandeur in his lesser known works that should not be missed. Very happy with this volume which ticks on to its centennial of first publication.
