"As nearly perfect as any American fiction I know," is how Reynolds Price (The New York Times) described this classic that has been a favorite of readers, both here and in Europe, for almost forty years. Set in provincial France in the 1960s, James Salter's A Sport and a Pastime is the intensely carnal story--part shocking reality, part feverish dream --of a love affair between a footloose Yale dropout and a young French girl. There is the seen and the unseen--and pages that burn with a rare intensity.

Nice dark blue color
Size: Twin, Color: Navy Blue
Bought 2 dark blue for twin beds and they look good with my blue and white quilts covering the beds. There are some wrinkles in the cloth due to packaging which may relax with time. but don't show much due to the dark color. I did find any defects in the stitching or fabric on the items I purchased. A note for prospective buyers is that the dust ruffle covers the entire bed foundation, so get help to put on under a heavy mattress.

Lightweight, Easy to Install, and Holds Up Well
Size: Full, Color: Black
This bed skirt has been a great purchase. It’s very lightweight, which actually made it super easy to put on the bed without a struggle. Once in place, it looks nice and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It’s also held up well to my almost-teenager being a little reckless at times, no tearing or issues so far. For the price, it’s definitely a good value. Overall, simple, functional, and worth it if you need a clean finished look for your bed.

Great for the price
Size: Full, Color: Bright White
Great for the price. The fabric is thin and not made well but for the price it’ll do. Must iron it so that it lays correctly but I figured I’d have to.
