    Wow! I'm incredibly impressed with this seller! Both books came in the condition described, packed safely in bubble wrap and a cardboard book box, *and* they look amazing! FANTASTIC seller, highly recommend!! I reached out for a bundle deal, the seller delivered quickly and kindly responded, *and* offered a partial refund on the shipping because it was different from what was quoted (though to be fair the seller made it clear that the shipping cost was an estimate). I will be following!
