Empires of Early Latin America (3 boxed set)
I was thrilled to be able to purchase this set of books for my daughter at such a great price AND the books were in excellent condition. She wanted these books for some time, but I simply could not afford them from other book sellers. I would purchase books from this seller again with no hesitation.

a little dated, and not among the best on the topic
Davies' book was first published in 1973, and it reads as such. More modern scholarship shys away from making value judgements referring to a culture as "barbaric" or "war-like" yet such pejoratives are not uncommon in _The Aztecs: a history_. In terms of the overall content, I found The Aztecs (Third Edition) (Ancient Peoples and Places) to be both better written and reflective of more recent scholarship. Where Davies excells (and Townsend falls short) is in the detailing of the arrival of the Spanish and the conquest of the Aztec empire. Sadly, this comprises only the last few chapters, but it is also the strongest part of his history. For those with familarity with the Nahuatl and Aztec culture and history, this is a pass, Townsend's _The Aztecs_ a better survery for those seeking an introduction.

Nice.
This is a very well-packaged set, with a wealth of information. I wish I had read these before my trip to Yucatan.

Misleading advertising
Misleading advertising! I received only one book (The Aztecs) instead of the advertised set of three. The product title, description, and images all clearly indicate this is a set of three books. This experience is extremely disappointing and feels like a scam.
