I purchased this book as a reference for my research on early American emigrants, as I am writing a book of my own. The information contained in Atlantic Virginia is great, much of it seems to be original, and it is carefully laid out. That said, I will have to say that I can only get through a few pages at a time, as it is written in a very scholarly manner. Unfortunately, my schedule is such that I have to read at night before bed, and this work does a pretty good job of lulling me to sleep. Still, it does provide detailed and frankly fascinating insight into colonial life (once you get past the dry presentation), and it is the best chronicle I've read on the movement of goods and individuals between the American colonies of the 17th century. I would recommend it to persons interested not only in early Virginia, but to those studying other colonies, especially New England, Maryland, and the Carolinas, and those wanting to learn about New World commerce, shipping, and settlement.

The book was in good condition, with minor writing which was stated. It took longer than expected to come in, however i was told the book was sent on time but i guess it was just a delivery issue..
