    Great seller! The Kansas City, MO Post Office took about 11 days to get the package from "accepted at facility" to "in transit," but the seller was helpful when I contacted them about it. I would do business with them again. Paperback book was in great condition when it arrived! Great price too.

  • Better Than I Expected!

    For price I was expecting a paperback book of used quality. I was pleasantly surprised that it was a brand new hardcover with a gift ornament as well. I'm very excited to give these to my students.ex

  • Great book

    The polar express and a small collection of Christmas books was destroyed by floods recently. I was very happy to have found a replacement. It’s been emotional knowing all our Christmas decorations are gone, but I’m very thankful to get a few back.
