The Seller even combined shipping for me and did this readily. I would definitely deal with this reputable Seller.Where the Highway Ends by Geneva Hamilton (1999, Paperback) (#225585391946)
- p***m (39)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI have shipped MANY books sold by the Sacramento Book Den's store on eBay. We carefully pack books to ensure they arrive in the same condition as when purchased. The plastic wrap used by this seller provided minimal protection to the book's edges, spine and cover. Also, the wrap was difficult to remove without damaging the book. But to be clear we are happy with our purchase and would use this seller again.
