    The books I ordered were packaged very securely. The condition of the books themselves was fantastic. I got the entire series I have been looking for at a price that was definitely fair. Seller shipped out the day after ordering and it arrived extremely fast. All in all, not only would I buy books from this seller again, I’ll be seeking them out in the future.
