    The book arrived a day early and in perfect condition. It was exactly as described in the listing (no dust jacket) and the book itself was in excellent condition. It was well-packed for shipping. Considering how long this book has been out of print it was an excellent value. Thank you!

  • Library copy in great shape

    The listing described a pre-owned book, and it had a disclaimer that the quality might be lower than a new book. I received a copy owned by a library and the only less-than-perfect features were the stickers and stamps the library used as part of their circulation practices. Other than that, it's pristine. I'm only sad that more people didn't check it out and read the incredible story for themselves.
