Good sell for moderate value
Seller did great at providing a usable product. Virtually no defect, only a slightly floppier-than-usual sleeve. Book appears to be little used. Content of the book tends to be dense (no pun intended) but can still prove useful in conjunction with immediate/direct application.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
