Colette herself considered The Pure and the Impure her best book, "the nearest I shall ever come to writing an autobiography." This guided tour of the erotic netherworld with which Colette was so intimately acquainted begins in the darkness and languor of a fashionable opium den. It continues as a series of unforgettable encounters with men and, especially, women whose lives have been improbably and yet permanently transfigured by the strange power of desire. Lucid and lyrical, The Pure and the Impure stands out as one of modern literature's subtlest reckonings not only with the varieties of sexual experience, but with the always unlikely nature of love.Binding Type: Paperback

Not a happy customer
Color: Brown, Size: 14.9"L x 0.6"W
If you are looking for nice size cutting boards, then these are not for you! They are very small and I didnt like the etching on the cutting boards, they will get filled with things you are cutting. What I least didn't liked don't know if its Amazon fault or the vendor? But the item came in the original box the boards were in, the the top part of the box was open. Everything was in the box but the label was on the box. When I returned it to the UPS store they wanted to charge me$10.19 for a box even though it was shipped without a box finally convinced them to put in a large
envelope and they still charge me $2.75. Not happy at all with this vendor or maybe Amazon?

Great set
Color: Brown, Size: 14.9"L x 0.6"W
I love this set. I can’t wait to have a party and try it out as a stand. The small cutting board is a little small but it is good for cutting a piece of fruit or small veggies.

Good option when replacing plastic cutting boards
If you're looking to replace plastic cutting boards, this is a nice option. The backs of the cutting boards are shaped to double as serving trays, a nice feature. These have been under heavy use, and are wearing well. I only gave 4 stars because the slots in the rack these stand in was too tight a fit, which I corrected with a little sanding in the slots.
