Book was in very good condition as described. The only thing I wasn’t impressed by that the book was not mailed in a bubble mailer. It was mailed in a regular plastic wrap mailer bag. The plastic mailer bag was busted open in shipping and my books corner was bent up. The price was fantastic. The shipping time was great. I would definitely buy from the seller again, but I would ask them in advance to ship in a bubble mailer.
