    This seller was amazing! They answered my questions almost immediately and because of that, along with the fair price, I purchased right away. They shipped my item quickly and packaged it well in a box. As a collector, I’m extremely happy all of the tags arrived nice and intact. My item appears well taken care of and exactly as described. Thank you so much!

    The item was shipped super fast, and arrived so quickly! The book was in the condition described; if anything it was in maybe a little better shape than the photo suggested. I am very happy with this and I would recommend this seller. Thanks!!
