Synopsis
Oakland has a rich theatre history, from the amusements of a gas-lit downtown light opera and vaudeville stage in the 1870s to the ornate cinematic escape portals of the Great Depression. Dozens of neighborhood theatres, once the site of family outings and first dates, remain cherished memories in the lives of Oaklanders. The city can still boast three fabulous movie palaces from the golden age of cinema: the incomparable art deco Paramount, which now offers live performances and films; the stately Grand Lake gracing the sinuous shores of Lake Merritt; and the magnificently eccentric Fox Oakland, with its imposing Hindu gods flanking the stage. The Paramount and Grand Lake still stir the heartstrings of patrons with showings preceded by interludes on their mighty Wurlitzer organs., Oakland has a rich theatre history, from the amusements of a gas-lit downtown light opera and vaudeville stage in the 1870s to the ornate cinematic escape portals of the Great Depression.

    This was listed as "like new", but it had pen marks on the back cover, a frayed book mark and dented edges, definitely not like new. Have messaged the seller about a return, but have not gotten a response after a few days. It was shipped with no padding so that possibly contributed to the damage.

    It is not what the cover labels it to be. I requested for the second edition with 1806 problems to solve. Instead , i received the second edition with 788 problems to solve. I am very disappointed at the result here is my email to contact me and direct me on how i should solve this issue: mathmateus14@gmail.com. Should I add the picture, if yes send me the email. Thanks for your time and consideration
