The players are all aware of the rules and so there is very little hand wringing and outrage at what was a common occurrence at the time, including the "forced seduction" of female hostages. The author wrote the characters true to their nature in terms of the historical setting and context, especially the rules about capturing and ransoming hostages among Scottish clans of the time.

All books are delivered directly to the post office, so if you order by 4:00 PM EST, Monday thru Friday, it will most likely ship same day, Saturday and Sunday orders ship out Monday. Also, only small bends, creases are allowed and of course no missing pages! Light foxing, previous owners names and/or minimal writing/highlighting, may have a remainder mark or stamp on top or bottom of pages.

When I am out buying books I check everything.I even sniff them to make sure they don't smell like smoke or mold, the only thing a book should smell like is a book. The used books I am selling are in A+ to B condition, hand picked by me and only me. I LOVE books, but hate being disappointed when I order one online. Hi there! This is a little note to let you know about my books.
