    Very happy with this purchase and seller, not least for the condition of the book and the robust packaging. One relatively minor quibble - not the fault or responsibility of the seller - is with DHL and their Australian affiliate, Aramex, the former whom seemingly sent this item around most of America before finally dispatching the item to Australia. Aramex were also tardy not least in updating the tracking advice in a timely manner. However, alls well that ends well. Cheers.
