Outstanding shipping. It was free and took only two days. For a used book 20 years old it is in excellent condition as described. What I am not happy about is the fact the seller does not take questions prior to ordering so I couldn't ask if this language book came with the CDs. I figured if they were missing it would be in the description so I went ahead and ordered it. Turns out the CDs did not come with the book which makes the book much less useful.
