The Da Vinci Code
Dan Brown
Read by Colin Stinton
Abridged audio book presented on 5 CDs for about 6 hours of listening.
The CDs are in their original jewel case with pasteboard sleeve cover.
| Synopsis | A
sequel to ANGELS & DEMONS, THE DA VINCI CODE starts off with a bang
and doesn't quit, leaving the reader gasping to keep up with the twists
and turns of this amazingly popular academic thriller. The naked,
spread-eagled corpse of a senior curator is found in the Louvre's Grand
Gallery, next to a mysterious message written in his blood. The
discovery and the subsequent investigation plunge Harvard professor
Robert Langdon into the heart of a centuries-old religious conspiracy.
Assisted by the brilliant and beautiful Sophie Neveu, a French police
cryptologist who also happens to be the curator's granddaughter,
Langdon races to gather clues about an ancient goddess-worshipping
cult--purportedly once led by Da Vinci himself--whose members hold the
key to one of the most sacred legendary objects, the Holy Grail.
Meanwhile, the couple must dodge both the police, who believe Langdon
guilty of the curator's murder, and an albino assassin from an
extremist Catholic sect who is desperate to prevent Langdon and Neveu
from uncovering a secret that could rock Christianity to its very
foundations. THE DA VINCI CODE is a blockbuster bestseller that has
gained legions of fans around the globe; the extremely obsessed can
even take a special tour in Paris that points out all the key locations
in the storyline. The book also has many detractors who say they have
found significant flaws in the religious and historical research upon
which it is based. The debate reached such a fever pitch that the
Vatican even appointed a Cardinal responsible for refuting the book's
claims. The controversy has only increased the book's popularity,
producing a whole host of imitators as well as several books and videos
purporting either to further explicate or to poke holes in the THE DA
VINCI CODE's plot and historical background.
Thank You.
Thank you for shopping
at Georgie's_Treasures. Please feel free to email us regarding any
questions you may have before you order or bid on our items. Asking
first saves you from disappointments. We try really hard to help.
Paperless Ebay:
Ebay announced that no one can buy on ebay unless they have
electronic payments, such as their Paypal. We want to make sure our good customers know this change
is not our fault. For about 5 years, we have been accepting your various papers. All but one was good. We thank you and
want you to know we would not have changed the system.
Combining Shipping Discounts:
On
most of our items, we do give a discount. Many of our items have
discounts for multiple purchases of the same thing. Very, very few
won't be elligible for shipping discounts. These are always shown in
the listing. Mostly, however, we give discounts as follows:
2 to 4 items - 17% off the S&H of all items.
5 to 9 items - 25% off the S&H of all
items.
10 and more - 33% off the S&H of all items.
USA Shipping:
All
the shipping charges shown are by media mail or parcel post for USA.
These are what we have figured the S&H below. We can do faster
shipping, but it is generally a lot more expensive. Please feel free
to email us for the rates for faster shipping before you order or buy. Remember if you are getting a media item, media mail across
the USA is very slow often 3 weeks. We are at the beach end of California, and often
our buyers are at the Atlantic side of the country. Parcel Post (or USP Ground) can take up to 12 days.When do we ship?
We
generally
ship Monday through Friday, except for Postal Holidays within 3
business days of receipt of your payment. We try and do next business
day, but some items take more time. Making an Offer?
Georgie's_Treasures
has several hundred items you can make a "best offer". Unfortunately
the clever boys are trying to cheat by using terms and sentences that
can be ambivalent. If you wish to "free shipping"; you must use
"Seller to give FREE SHIPPING" in the message line of your Best Offer.
Anything else is to be considered as not accurate and not binding on
seller to give free shipping. We want to be upfront and fair.
Shipping &
Handling.
We charge shipping and handling on all items.
International Shipping:
We ship overseas by United State Post Office. By buying here you agree
to use the custom's form as your tracker. It shows up at usps.com
generally the day after we ship. Most modern countries allow the
customs form to show up on their website too. Please check with your
postal service before you order. If you wish secured mail, the
additional charge is $11.97. Here is the really rough part: We no
longer ship to Norway without the secured charge. Seems that either
they have the most incompetent postal service or there is a ring of
thieves trying to steal on Ebay. Don't see Ebay trying to protect
their sellers. Customs Forms:
In
the USA there are 2 customs forms, one for 4 pounds and under and one
for the larger items. Both have a number, which can be tracked by
modern international countries' post offices once the item crosses into
your country. All packages over 10 ounces require a form. We put a
customs form on each and every international package regardless of
weight (unless the buyer writes us, using only ebay message mail, to
not use a form.) The buyer of this item agrees to allow custom's forms
to be used as tracking information at the prices shown in this
listing. Should the buyer wish "regestered mail", the additional
charge is $11.97. Know Your Custom's Regulations:
There
are over 200 countries in the world today. Each has their own
set of regulations for what a citizen can import. There is no way
Georgie's_Treasures can know all those rules, but you (the citizen)
should know the rules of your country. Should the product be stopped
by customs or returned by customs, it is the buyer's loss for both
price and s&h. BEST MATCH" IS NOT BEST FOR BUYERS.
If
you are looking for our other items to get the shipping discount. We
have been looking at the Best Match, and it appears not very good for
buyers. Basically Ebay is manipulating what comes up first based on
how they like the seller and how much time is left on the auction. I
spoke to a powerseller agent, and he said no one knows how that best
match works. Often the front page of Best Match are not very good
buys. We recently listed a NEW DVD. It was the lowest in terms of
price and shipping. When we put up "Best Match" our DVD was 12th down.
The top guy was charging about double total than we do, but he gets
nearly 10,000 feedbacks a month. Perhaps if you use best match to find
our items for shipping discounts, you are getting favorites of ebay
instead. But when we changed to lowest price and shipping, ours was
first. To get the best price and discount shipping:
1. Go To "Buy"
2. Suggest something you might wish to buy in the search box and enter.
3. At the
very top of the list of items find and click on "Customize View".
4. On The Very Right Side click on "Advanced Options".
5.
There are two drop down boxes. Click on the little triangle of each
box to find the way you want to always see listings displayed. Me, I
choose, "Lowest Price" for both boxes. I like to save money.
6. Once you have your choice of way, click on the bottom button "Apply Changes".
Then
every time your search ebay, you get the best price and shipping. I'm
confident you will find many of our items to get that shipping discount.
I save money with this, and hope you do too.
PLEASE DON'T CONSIDER VERY GOOD AS A GIFT ITEM.
Since
ebay started the categories for used condition, we've had several
people think that "Very Good" is a gift item. It really isn't, unless
you are talking about rare collectibles where getting anything at all
is very good. If you are thinking about a gift, then stay to "Brand
New" or "Like New". and read the description carefully.
Contact us:
We
are
in California. We generally open about 10 a.m., and work through
about 7 p.m., except Sundays when we close about 2:30 p.m.. While we
are open, we often won't be on line all the time, as we must buy stuff
and ship stuff. We try to reply to all questions before
we close for the night. If you've sent us an email before our general
closing time, and we don't reply, you might wish to resend. We answer all emails we get.
Please read all the ebay and paypal rules
before bidding:
From
time
to time, we encounter a buyer who has not read the rules. Ebay
and Paypal had to make some choices about who is responsible and how
people should proceed if there are problems. We have read the rules,
and understand the choices they had to make. We will follow these
rules and expect others to also follow them. While we hate to reply to
"that's not fair" letters, the decision not to read the rules is really
what is not fair, isn't it?
What is Georgie's_Treasures?
We
are
primarily a liquidator. Many of our selections, while new, are in
shop worn boxes. We get a lot of our product from stores changing
their directions or discontinuing items. Generally these have been
picked at a bit, but the product is still new, only the package sucks.
We sell the product, not boxes nor blister packs. If you are a
collector, more
interested in a box than what's inside, please write me first before
bidding. Yes, at real stores people pass items that are perfectly
good, but boxes are bad or the jewel case cracked. They want to spend
many times what we charge to get new looking items that they are going
to unwrap. Now you can save at their foolishness. Also
nearly all of our CD & cassette boxes are punched. This does not
affect the
tape, just notices it was a liquidation item. As I said, we don't sell
boxes nor blister packs.
UPC OR ISBN
We also list items by the instant look-up on ebay. Sometimes
the UPCs and ISBNs don't match up with the instant item, but the music
is the same. Now sure why record and book and movie companies put out the same music but different numbers.
Should you bid now or wait to the end of the auction?
Several
times a month, we get letters from buyers asking if we might have
another copy of an item. They wanted it, but heard it was best to wait
until the last minute to bid. They did not get to the auction
site at the right time and missed it. Someone else got the product at or less than they would have paid.
Our thought is, put up your best bid when you decide you'd like to have the item. If
you are at your computer, at the last minute; you can still be ready,
if someone out bids you. If no one else bids, you won
the item, whether or not you are at your computer at that last minute.
Again if you have questions, please write me before you bid or buy.
Thanks:
Georgie
