    The seller was kind enough to send me a USPS tracking number so that I could have a good idea as to when I’d receive my item. It came a day later than expected (probably due to the cold snap and snow storm here) and the seller was quick to respond when I voiced my concern on its arrival. It was packaged very well, no water damage or dings. Would recommend buying books from this seller!

    My item shipped, but I never received it. I contacted the seller, and the seller quickly responded and offered to ship another with a deep discount. I requested a refund, and the seller quickly obliged, and refunded money promptly. I would buy from this seller again!

    Having just started my swimming journey this book is a wonderful help. I'm not so great at swimming yet and love being able to see which muscles each exercise works and how that applies to swimming. The only drawback for me would be it is kind of sparse on directions how to perform the exercises, how many reps and such. I have a great deal of experience exercising with a trainer, so it works fine for me. I had my book spiral bound at local FedEx office store for just $10.
