Bestselling author Nicholson Baker, recognized as one of the most dexterous and talented writers in America today, has created a compelling work of nonfiction bound to provoke discussion and controversy--a wide-ranging, astonishingly fresh perspective on the political and social landscape that gave rise to World War II. Human Smoke delivers a closely textured, deeply moving indictment of the treasured myths that have romanticized much of the 1930s and '40s. Incorporating meticulous research and well-documented sources--including newspaper and magazine articles, radio speeches, memoirs, and diaries--the book juxtaposes hundreds of interrelated moments of decision, brutality, suffering, and mercy. Vivid glimpses of political leaders and their dissenters illuminate and examine the gradual, horrifying advance toward overt global war and Holocaust. Praised by critics and readers alike for his exquisitely observant eye and deft, inimitable prose, Baker has assembled a narrative within Human Smoke that unfolds gracefully, tragically, and persuasively. This is an unforgettable book that makes a profound impact on our perceptions of historical events and mourns the unthinkable loss humanity has borne at its own hand.Binding Type: Paperback

Nice dark blue color
Size: Twin, Color: Navy Blue
Bought 2 dark blue for twin beds and they look good with my blue and white quilts covering the beds. There are some wrinkles in the cloth due to packaging which may relax with time. but don't show much due to the dark color. I did find any defects in the stitching or fabric on the items I purchased.
A note for prospective buyers is that the dust ruffle covers the entire bed foundation, so get help to put on under a heavy mattress.

Very pretty, comfortable & affordable
Color: Sherpa Navy, Size: Queen
Quality product with very nice shams. Washes nicely but definitely takes two cycles to dry. Extremely soft and affordable within my price range. I've seen others but this works perfectly for my bedroom. I did upsize because I wanted it to hang longer over my 16" mattress. Beautiful color that hasn't faded nor bled onto the Sherpa to full it down. Definitely recommend THIS brand/vendor.

Love it

Bought this comforter for my teenage son! He loves it! It’s very soft and warm! Definitely wash it before using. It did smell weird when we opened it but after washing it the smell was gone!
