      I’m so happy with the book! It arrived fast and just as described. The best part is that it’s the correct edition, the same one listed. I’ve ordered books from other sellers that were different editions than the one listed but this seller did great and packaged the book so well, too. This was such a great price!

      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.

    • 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.
