I'm super-happy with my purchase of this little radio. It seems well-made and it sounds great. The only reason I gave it four stars on the sound was cuz I'm guessing most of us are used to having bass control, etc, and this radio doesn't have any of those kinds of bells and whistles. What it DOES have though is superb reception, better than any other radio I own, including my CC Radio (which turned out to not be such a great radio, after all, but I digress). And it runs for days and days on my rechargeable batteries (but did come with the cord to plug it in, which I use, too).My only complaint is that the am/fm switch is on the back of the unit. And actually I barely care about that.Just FYI re the color of it, it looks more tan-colored on my monitor than it does in person where it's more of a gold-tan. I like the actual color better.I love this darn radio so-o-o-o much, I'm definitely getting another one as a backup.

The radio performs well and does what a radio should do, but it's highly disappointing in person. The "vintage" covering isn't even cloth -- it's a sticker -- think contact paper on a bad day. I'd rather have a plastic radio that looks quasi-vintage in reality than a sticker wrapped to look like fabric.

It is not what I expected. Plastic rims, quite big, poor signal (maybe because of my location). The dial doesn't have light.

I really like this . . . very retro . . . just what I was looking for. Good sound too.

This Bible is in a wonderful leather cover with a good matte texture. Unlike many Bibles I've seen, the textual interpretation notes are collected at the end of each book. I prefer this, as I tend to get distracted by these notes when I'm reading. The lectionary at the end is useful for previewing the readings that will be proclaimed at Mass. The sides of the pages bear index tabs, but the Catholic books (e.g., Wisdom, Sirach) are not included on the tabs (the books are included in the Bible, but you'll have to remember their locations in the Old Testament).The one caveat with this Bible is that the pages are quite thin - I end up turning the pages very carefully. The thin pages make for a very compact Bible - only about 1-1/4" thick including the cover.
