    The book came promptly and with wonderful communication. It matched the photos spot on and has been a well taken care of book that was also well packaged before being sent out. All around a difficult book to find, this listing was at a good price, so it was an obvious snag! Apart from the book, Marc also has a great taste in music and is a musician himself! I could not give enough recommendations to shop here, and I'll definitely be buying again when something catches my eye. Thanks Marc!
