    Shipping was very fast. Packaging was very well done. Book is in Very Good condition, as advertised. I wasn't too worried there wasn't a photograph of the book, as the reviews speak highly of this shop. The price was awesome. I've very pleased with this transaction. Trustworthy, professional seller.

    As described and shipped promptly, but the corners were badly deformed and crushed because it was shipped in a thin plastic mailer. I forgot my own rule - always ask seller to protect a book that is old, signed, first edition, rare or valuable for some other reason. 👍
