    The book I received was exactly as described in the listing. The care taken in how it was wrapped in paper, then in plastic wrap, put in a sturdy box of the right size with packing pellets was super nice. I felt like the book was a great value given it is a classic with the old style hardcover. I am excited to add it to what is becoming a new collection of classic books. I highly recommend this seller!!

    Shipping was extremely quick and the book was well packaged! The book is as pictured and described, there was some minor foxing to the dust jacket itself that wasn't noted but I reached out to the seller to insure it wasn't mold, the seller had an extremely quick response time and was able to confirm it was just foxing which is to be expected with older books and there wasn't anything to be concerned with! Perfect value, condition, and addition to my collection! ~

    Book was better than expected, the seller even had the dust jacket in a protective sleeve. It was wrapped in paper and plastic, then boxed in shipping peanuts to ensure it stayed dry and undamaged. Well worth the shipping cost. The book itself was exactly as described, and we received it a day early. Highly recommend this seller.
