    The book looks to be brand new, better than described! It was shipped quickly, and I'm glad to say it survived being packaged in only a mylar envelope. I would like to see better packaging, but what the hey, it arrived in one piece, so I'll be grateful for that. I would not hesitate to purchase from this Seller again. Thank you, halfpricebooksrecordsmag, for a perfect transaction!

    The book was shipped and arrived in good time, mostly in the condition described (a few pages were falling and had to be taped back in, otherwise the description was accurate). The shipping packaging was adequate. Good value for a used book.
