- u***h (13)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI had a really great experience with this seller; quick delivery, exactly as described, and great value. I particularly wanted to note that the book I ordered was wrapped very well! Often books are sent in cardboard packaging without any protection from rain or sun; but this book was very securely wrapped in bubble wrap. It is rare to buy from an Ebay seller who cares about such minor details!
