    My fifth grade teacher read us this book many years ago. So, I made a search to see if I could find one and would’t you know . . . I felt the price was fair and the shipping was rapid. Upon receiving the book I found it well packaged so as to prevent damage and exactly as described. I was well pleased with every aspect of my transaction and highly recommend this seller!

    Perfectly as described. It’s an old book. It was packaged and shipped with care and the seller wasted no time after I hit the “Buy It Now” button. This seller is one of the few redeeming qualities remaining within the corrupt and high-priced eBay apparatus.
