I bought this box set for .99 because I had already read the first book of this series. Out of Time with Prof. Simon Cross and Elizabeth West and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  I also enjoyed reading it for the second time just to refresh my memory.  This is a story of a shy, conservative English professor of the occult and his teacher's aide, Elizabeth, who is anything but shy!  He inherits a "time" watch from his grandfather after his passing not knowing that it can transport them back in time.  In the first book, they go to 1929 New York, in the 2nd they are in San Fransisco in 1906, just before the big earthquake, and then to merry ole England in the 3rd book, 1942.  The author weaves the present and past beautifully.  We watch Simon and Elizabeth fall in love.  The scenery in each past is very thorough and many of the characters are actual historical figures for that time period.  It is funny, sad, scary and a really easy read.  I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
