Description

Bob Segalman tells his story -- all 60 years plus. Like Bob himself, it's funny, truthful, poignant, insightful and sometimes exasperating. Bob was born with significant cerebral palsy at a time when inclusion, mainstreaming and even special education didn't exist. With the help of plucky parents and an unsinkable attitude, Bob not only stayed out of an institution, but attended public school and eventually graduated with a Ph.D. in statistics! His magnum opus was the founding of Speech to Speech, a federally mandated telephone service for people with speech disabilities. A wonderful account of how grit, grace and intelligence can overcome significant disability.

Great experience and I have zero concerns. They communicated through the shipping process and if there was any hiccups in it, they let me know. Books arrived in perfect condition as well as being fairly priced. 10/10 recommend. I will definitely shop here again!

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
