    I have received this order a few days ago, well before the earliest promised delivery date. The item corresponds to the seller's description: it is in "like new" condition. The transaction was seamless.I am completely satisfied with this purchase. The only peculiar aspect is that I wrote to the seller several times, both before and after ordering, and never received a response. This is at odds with all reviews of this seller.

    Excellent transaction. Fast delivery. Securely packaged in a poly-mailer for shipping. Good communications from the Seller. Very good price. Seller was very accurate in describing the condition of the book --very good-- in his listing.. I am picky about a book's condition, and I would rate the book as between "very good' and "like new." Very satisfied customer. ...Thank you!!

  • Must have for any new dad!

    Perfect book for the rookie dad! Humorous read that makes sense out of a life changing event. Not sure if I'm 100% ready, but I am at least well prepared!

  • Hilariously helpful!

    This book is definitely written for men. Made me laugh out loud on several occasions. These guys have done their homework though. There are so many helpful tips & tricks that every day can employ to make their baby's life a little (or a lot) better. I already bought 3 extra copies & gave them away as gifts to other dads.
