    Shipping and packaging were fine, but the book was described as in very good condition. It was in very good condition, but name and address of the previous owner was on one page and a presentation statement was on another. This bothers me because it is now my prayer book.

    Solved Mysteries!

    This book is thoroughly enjoyable as well as being instructional. I really take delight in finding out about the derivation of common sayings. The price was such a bargain, too!
