    This was an outstanding buying experience and a great value. The book was shipped promptly and intelligently. Being a softcover book (and a thick one), it required extra care in its preparation for shipment. The seller carefully wrapped the book in clear Saran-type wrap, and then made sure it was completely protected by a heavy cardboard box. It was a preowned book, and yet appears "as new." It was described as being LIKE NEW, and that's completely accurate! Excellent, thank you, five stars!

    Prompt shipping, came as described, good prices. The packaging was absolutely outstanding, multiple layers of protection and as someone who likes to keep their books looking nice you can’t ask for anything better. I sincerely appreciate the care that’s taken with the product.
