- t***l (6)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseThe item had a faint scratch on it that wasn't visible in the photos or the description. Normally I wouldn't mind at all, but since it was a child's Christmas item, that did bother me, but overall it was still new as described and worth the price the seller charged. And of course the child didn't notice so I was still happy with the purchase. It also shipped very quickly, seller was pleasant, and the item was packaged professionally. I would buy from this seller again.Reindeer in Here: A Christmas Friend, Plush + Hardcover Book New (#134616416867)
