    Item as described and arrived on time. Good value. The book was wrapped tightly in a thin plastic shipping sleeve, but in transit, this was thin enough that it tore in some places to expose the book, but book still arrived in pretty good shape.

    The item arrived quickly... it was new as described by the seller, however the photo showed it with a slipcover and it did not arrive with on. The seller was glad to accept a return and refund me the total. I would definitely do business with them again in the future.
