    I was pleased with the entire purchase - the price of the book was very reasonable, the shipping was free, the book was delivered on time (important bc it was for my husband's birthday!), and my husband is looking forward to reading it. The book was in a thick plastic bag within the outside packaging, so it got to me unharmed. And it is at least as described - I think the condition is a bit better than "very good". I will visit Rock Top again soon!
