I'm really satisfied with this order, though I do have to say one corner of the cover was creased despite the bubble wrap. That wasn't much of a problem, however, because the book is otherwise in great condition. I'm just really happy I own a copy now.
The title is hooking to say the least not to mention the anticipation I felt when I opened the book.
this is an amazing book that allows for further research. Not only am I learning more about South Africa's very own elite group but also politics, business, finance, fraud, monopoly. these are all the things that make this book amazing. I love the page featuring the names and pictures of supposed members of the mafia or men who play a role. I love the south african histroy in the book. I love the notes at the back of the book. I love the index and abbreviations that were explained making it easy to follow along.
