Story of Civilization Hardcover – January 1, 1993

It is masterpiece for the millenia and genius of Durants.The keeper has preserved this knowledge wealth (11 volumes) nicely. Shipped with excellent packing with care! Thank you!

Very nice set. I'm very happy with purchase. Will order from seller again.

I went to the local library and happened upon Vol. One of this series called "Our Oriental Heritage". It was a thick book, but it was so interesting that I couldn't put it down. Therefore, I bought the entire set for my personal library through Amazon.History may be seen as being dull but not when you read it by these 2 authors, Wil and Ariel Durant. It took them 20 years to write the entire 11 volume set. These books are so inspiring that I could not put them down, until I managed to read them all. I am thrilled to read the series and cannot recommend it enough to all history buffs. This is a power-packed 11 volume set that will keep you captivated for months, as you go through each age of civilization as if you were personally traveling in a 'time machine' and able to be present in person.

I don’t often write reviews, but was a little worried when Vol XI showed up first, albeit with a personal note the rest would arrive! What followed were all the others, each individually wrapped. You could tell that care and attention went into this! Thank you! This is a 5-star review for the care and quality of this seller! The content? Can’t wait to spend days and weeks in these Durant books. Big thank you, and highly recommend.

* I never wrote review feedback, also don’t like those reminder emails requesting me to do so. However this time I must write one because it’s so so much beyond my expectation!* I love collecting all the classic books which are related to Christian spiritual growth, Children science/art/history etc. The series of story of civilization is worthy to collect!* the books are kept very clean, and I give thanks to my Lord and the former owner for cherishing the great art!* the book printing is extremely satisfied. I had several bad experience that the printed words is unclear. I don’t know how the other customers general feedback about today book printing, the electronic products are upgraded a lot, but the book printing quality today is worse than the old days.

A must have volume set for the Social studies of man. Well researched. Collage level reading. No longer in print.

Three of the eleven books had significant damage to the spine, including one book that was completely detached from the spine.The product did not match the photos for the item.On a positive note, the pages of the books are in good condition, no writing or highlighting, except for water damage on several dozen pages of one of the volumes.
