Very slight edgewear and faint creasing of spine and covers, otherwise a fine clean tight and bright copy - The tales of Troy and its heroes, Achilles and Hector, Paris and the famed Helen remain some of the most enduring figures in art and literature. But did these characters really exist? Was there ever an actual seige of Troy? In this revised edition Michael Wood takes account of the developments in the search for Troy. It details the rediscovery in Moscow of the so-called jewels of Helen and the re-excavation of the site of Troy, begun in 1988, which continues to wield new evidence about this historical city. Michael Wood has made a wide-ranging study of the complex archaeological, literary and historical records which make up the tale of Troy. He has visited all the key sites and his researches have led him to a new conclusion about the city. .. Soft Cover. Very Good.

Penguin, Australia, 2012. Later Edition. Softcover. Good Condition. Publisher Marketing:ONE FINE MESSWelcome to Trenton, New Jersey, home to wiseguys, average Joes, and Stephanie Plum, who sports a big attitude and even bigger money problems (since losing her job as a lingerie buyer for a department store). Stephanie needs cash--fast--but times are tough, and soon she's forced to turn to the last resort of the truly desperate: family...ONE FALSE MOVEStephanie lands a gig at her sleazy cousin Vinnie's bail bonding company. She's got no experience. But that doesn't matter. Neither does the fact that the bail jumper in question is local vice cop Joe Morelli. From the time he first looked up her dress to the time he first got into her pants, to the time Steph hit him with her father's Buick, M-o-r-e-l-l-i has spelled t-r-o-u-b-l-e. And now the hot guy is in hot water--wanted for murder..."ONE FOR THE MONEY"Abject poverty is a great motivator for learning new skills, but being trained in the school of hard knocks by people like psycho prizefighter Benito Ramirez isn't. Still, if Stephanie can nab Morelli in a week, she'll make a cool ten grand. All she has to do is become an expert bounty hunter overnight--and keep herself from getting killed before she gets her man... Trade Paperback. Size: 180mm - 240mm. 290 pages.
