    I was very satisfied with this seller! The book came in the exact condition that was originally described, and I was being updated consistently with when the item was shipped as well as when I’d receive it. The seller was on point with communication and I really appreciate that so much because I was able to know when I’d receive the item and I got it at the perfect timing when I needed it!!

  • It's a good book for the price

    A few pages had some writing on it with pen but that was stated on the description. The only issue I have is that if you're a smoker you should've stated that. My book reeks of cigarette smoke and me not been a smoker AT ALL, I don't appreciate the smell of cigarette in every turning page.
