    Good transaction. I received this book in good time. It was nicely packaged (with several other books), so no damage to it while in transit. It is in good condition, and looks just as it was described and photographed in the listing. What more do you want in an eBay transaction? I’ve bought a few from this seller and wouldn't have any hesitation in buying from them again. Thank you!

    Ordered Tuesday night. Shipped early Wednesday morning. Arrived on time Saturday morning by USPS Bound Printed Matter from TN to WI. It was packaged in a gray plastic shipping bag without cushioning. End of spine had minor shipping damage (see photos). It was the only noticeable condition issue on an otherwise very good used cookbook. Exceptional value. Good experience with a not-for-profit organization. Thanks!

    Wow, pleasantly surprised to receive a brand new copy still in the shrink wrap, although it has a little bump on the top cover that goes through to several pages, makes no difference, as I got the book at a bargain price. Fast shipping, very happy with my purchase, I recommend this seller!
