    $7.40 is a great price for a hardcover book. Especially for one in “Like New/Very Good” condition, and one that I could no longer find in my sizable library system. The book I received was accurate to the seller’s description: intact dust-jacket, secure binding, and the exact volume (No. 3) of The Chronicles of Faerie that I requested. With it also being shipped promptly and delivered on time, this was an excellent purchase experience. I’d happily recommend this seller to anyone!
