    I was very happy when the book I had ordered arrived at my door. Upon opening the carefully wrapped mailer, I found the book to be just as the seller described. I appreciated the pics that were posted too, as this helped me close the deal. The appearance of the book is excellent, the price quite affordable, and the general quality is quite good. All in all, the entire transaction went smoothly from start to finish. I would not hesitate in recommending this seller to anyone. Thank you, seller!
