My book came in a good week before what I thought it would and was very well packaged. Not only did it have a layer of wrapping but also cardboard so the book wouldn't bend or get damaged. Very happy and it came in time for my class!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Content, Poor Binding.
Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2012

After reating (most) of this book for a class, I believe it laid out nicely. It contains a great selection of must-have detective stories, hitting all the popular characters and some lesser known stories and authors. The stories are great, and each author has a short bio page which also lists other works by him or her you might enjoy, and other authors you might also like.
I paid just under $20, and decided it was well worth the cost, though don't expect your copy to last forever. The book is very cheaply bound. Individual pages are not folded over and stitched into signatures like some other books, but each page is just cut off and glued into the binding, much like a stack of post-its or a notepad. While flipping through somewhat heavily handedly several pages became loose, weakening the spine and causing more pages to fall out. Hence, 4 stars.
As far as the content, it's great. I'd highly recommend it.

I had to buy this for a class at Temple University, but now that I've read it I would purchase it just for recreation. Very good collection, and nice introductions to each piece.
