This copy has clearly seen cycles of rentals. Its a bit delicate to handle as it is so weak in the spine. Of course I have no choice.

Renting a kindle edition of a textbook is a ridiculous practice by itself. Charging $45 to rent a digital version is even worse.

Simple receipt for rent or for anything else you might sell.  Has a piece of board to keep you from writing onto the next carbon copy.  Does exactly as advertised.

This paper is very good. The message reveals that it is a copy if someone tries to duplicate. Practical and reasonably priced.

I rented this book. It contains some highlighting; however, it is usually the same information my professor deems as important for a test. Cover and contents intact. Received via mail in a timely manner. Would definitely use this rental service again.

Since its publication earlier this year I've tried to find an affordable digital version and hold-off buying, in the hope the digital price drops to an appropriate price below the hard backed edition.

In the end I gave up and bought this physical copy.

Whilst my aversion for accruing physical books remains - the nomadic life of rental hell - this physical book is beautifully printed and bound.

The contents are as wide-ranging and engrossing as I'd hoped.

I just received my copy of The Decisive Moment. No corners were smashed, no covers are bent, there's no odd mottling on the paper... I can only assume these reviewers (1) have never actually seen a copy of the 1952 original and (2) overlooked that the project was to reproduce it as exactly as was technically feasible. If they'd seen the original, there'd be no "Eww! It's so blurry! Why aren't the blacks darker?!" nonsense - the photos look exactly what I thought they'd look like, based on my own recollection of an original copy I was loaned several years ago. Ditto for the paper stock, and the layouts - this is simply as faithful a reproduction as possible; it looks and feels as I imagined that loaned copy must have when freshly purchased.

In short, if you are interested in owning s copy of this seminal work, do not let these negative reviews dissuade you. This is a gorgeous reproduction and worth every cent as an addition to your library.

I am renting this book for a college level government course I'm taking this fall. Its in really great shape and It was delivered exactly on the date Amazon had estimated.
I look forward to learning and being able to rent this for ~$45 vs buying it and have it sit on my self for $120 or however much it'd be to purchase new.

We purchased this film after renting. I wish we had saved the rental and just purchased. The great thing about digital is that my toddler can't scratch the dvd. We have watched it many times and still see something new.

Yes, while this is not the most official of copies...it is still an effective compilation of episodes and movies each with good quality in terms of resolution, good subs and a great amount of content for the price. Sadly, i had to return this product because within some third party, mass copied dvds of animated films, there exists a "frame shake" or animation shake between the different scenes/frames of animation. This seems to occur when making copies of copies, but will not be entirely noticeable for those watching for the first time. But, for those returning to this series and looking for a definitive copy; i personally could not deal with it. On the other hand, the return customer service was very fast and efficient. My shipping was even paid for. As a side note, I even got a little extra DvD gift with my original purchase. I do recommend this if u have a beginner to moderate interest in this anime, while hardcore fans and viewers may want to pass this up.

Arrived on time.  Already used it.  Turned out to be almost the same price as one rental.  I will use it annually.

I have had my machine for a couple of weeks now, and have had no problems so far.  The picture is crystal clear on my 57" Hitachi.  Also, my SACD and DVD 5.1 audio albums sound great.  I just wish it was able to play DVD-A in all its glory.

I have not even attempted the disc explorer yet.  While I was loading the machine, I kept track of the titles as they went into the slots, and later made an Excel spreadsheet with the info on it.  That way, I have a saved list that I can continue to add to and print out as I fill the machine.  One day, I'll have some time to plug the keyboard into the access jack on the front and go to work, but for now, the printed list sitting on the coffee table is doing just fine.

Recommended for those with a large amount of discs and a desire to free up some storage space in their entertainment centers.  I'm glad I made the purchase, so far.  I have had good luck with my Sony gear in the past, but you never know in this age of throwaway electronics.  Usually, it cost more to fix it than to buy a new one, but I am hoping that I will still be using this one for years to come.

Mine was used, in excellent shape and cost me a whole $14...that's less than 3 months of renting it. Why wouldn't you want to save money?

The copy I have was released by Eastern Heros, and it's very clear, the dvd transfer is really good.  I have reservations when people come on Amazon to preview a flick, and score it simply on the picture, and or the dvd transfer,,,,,that is such a dis-service to the flcik itself.  IF YOU HAVE A PERSONAL BIAS TOWARDS A CERTAIN COMPANY, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR IT. This is about reviewing movies based on 4 elements: The story (PLot), the cororgraphy/ Cinematography, The Quality and the overall production of the flick.  Accordingly,,there are people out there who actually read these reviews before going out to buy a movie!

This is actually a decent flick, certainly would not have make my top 10,,,but the drunken fights and training literally sold the movie for me!!!

So far it's done well. No resets, no lagging and best of all no more rental fees

The package arrived two days later that supposed it would arrive. Once I opened it, the supposed new book I bought was actually a rental textbook. It is inconceivable that seller sent it with the rental textbook sticker. Moreover, the book which has a hard cover shows damage in the corners though the worst was when I opened it, since it clearly shows a constant use and the access code is exposed/used

I saw this in elementary school and have wanted my wife to see it. No one rents it. It's one I know she'd enjoy and love as she has had similar obsticals to overcome with M.S. Anyone out there want to get rid of their  copy at a good price?
