    The book, "The Unbreakable Brain," is better than "as described". It looks like a brand new, unused book in excellent condition, which makes it a super value for the cost. It was shipped in a protective package with free shipping, yet another super value! I am incredibly pleased with this seller, and they even sent me a coupon to buy four and get two books free. That's a fantastic gift and quite generous! Thank you for being an excellent seller!

    Item came as described and the price was good. Could have been packed better, as the item came damaged due to the shippers not handling the box with care. Just a small dent in the corner of a box set for book series. Not the biggest deal. Bubble wrap would have prevented this.

Nice, pleasant, experience. Quality & Condition are superb, clean appearance & pages , well-cared for, smoke-free. As described & shown in pictures. Value surpasses similar sellers. No unpleasant surprises, good transaction. Highly recommend! Cheers, JD.
