    The book looks to be brand new, better than described! It was listed at a fantastic price, & extremely well-packaged. This Seller wrapped a hardcover in plastic, then used packing peanuts to pad the book inside a sturdy cardboard box. Please, wulf6221, reach around & pat yourself on the back for 1) great pricing, 2) perfect packaging, & (3) super fast shipping. You are one of the best Sellers I've discovered on eBay. I can't wait to purchase from you again. Thank you for a perfect transaction!
