    Wonderful shopping experience purchasing another hard to find book. It was exactly as described and though the couple little marks that put it in the good category didn't make a difference to me, it's nice to know that this seller represented the product accurately. Thank you for the quick shipping and the protective packaging. Thank you for your integrity and a great experience all the way around.
