    I have suggested this seller to my friends in the health sciences/rad program at my school. All of my books came shrink wrapped and in pristine condition. The appearance upon arrival was neatly wrapped, and cared for with love. The quality of the books, along with the value of money I saved, WILL have me returning here for all my remaining semesters of Radiography 🥹❤️. Thank you so much!!!
