Reasonable price for a scarce book - particularly in new condition. Fairly securely packaged & posted quickly. Postal charges a bit expensive for a small, slender paperback - even if they did include tracking. From what I understand, not a lot of that goes to the seller - but instead to the Global Shipping Program. Delivered in great condition. The book itself was a bit disappointing - but that's no fault of the seller. Happy with the cost & condition of book, and ordering process etc.

The wrong item was dispatched by mistake, but the seller could not have been more helpful in expediting the refund of initial cost and return postage. Utterly reliable and proactive - greatly appreciated.
100% recommend.
