    This seller did a phenomenal job of packaging the book in the box. Never purchased a book before that had been so meticulously wrapped and protected in shipment. The book was as pristine as described - although not new - yet it was as good as new to me. Very happy with the speed of order processing and delivery. Reasonable shipping fee, excellent seller. Highly recommend!!
