    Great seller, exactly as pictured/described. quick shipping, well packaged. Books arrived in very, very good shape. A very good value for the price. Book was shipped sepeartely from the main package (4 books total) which caused some confusion when receiving them, but I figured it out. 2 tracking numbers actually used (2 packages), but only one was listed.

    Awesome book with great value and amazing quality. The condition of the book upon arrival was exceptional and definitely came as described by the seller. The appearance was on point and the book was unscathed while going through transit. The shipping was good and the package had accurate tracking information while in transit. Thank you to the seller for a great transaction and experience. I look forward to doing business with you again in there future!
