    Wow! The old Streetcar History book I ordered was honestly indecent better condition than described - very honest and, quite frankly, conservative grading Shipping details were sent fast and came early at that. The packaging was secure and I was certainly satisfied with it especially for the $30 price point. As I stated before the condition was fantastic and the packing materials were secure and arrived a day earlier than expected. Great experience, great seller!
