Sir Banister Fletcher's Global History of Architecture (2 Vol Slipcase Edition)

Great Books. Horrible Shipping. The Books came in a box that looked like it crossed the Atlantic on its own. Then was dropped 8 times. The book corners were damaged.

I ordered the slipcase edition of this beautiful work. It came without a slipcase. Therefore it is devoid of an important protective case. The item, although a product of distinguished English scholars was sent to me from India. It seems that Amazon does not care about accuracy of its advertising It is the second time I have been disappointed in Amazon Prime. I shall probably order no more.

You might think an expensive set like this would come with a slipcase. You might think, after reading the ad for this expensive set of books, a slipcase would accompany your order. You (and I) would be wrong.

Bought it for an old architectural student, who gave away the Fletcher book he had studied. It was very much appreciated!

The books themselves are magnificent, and are well worth the price, which was higher than I would have expected. However, it is advertised as having a slipcase, which in view of the weight and the price is fully warranted. This was not provided, and in fact three of the corners were slightly bumped. This detracts from the book and frankly constitutes false advertising which should certainly be corrected or at least warrants a price discount.
