    I was very satisfied with this seller! The book came in the exact condition that was originally described, and I was being updated consistently with when the item was shipped as well as when I’d receive it. The seller was on point with communication and I really appreciate that so much because I was able to know when I’d receive the item and I got it at the perfect timing when I needed it!!

    Item as described, very good condition. Packaged very well and carefully. Very good and prompt communication from the seller. Took about 8 business days to get to me in the Boston, MA area. Very competitively priced and the exact edition and book I needed. Only one I really saw online. Very grateful to have this item and to have great seller communication and delivery in the estimated time window.
