    Great experience. I ordered a luxury hardcover for which the condition of the book is important and the packing was great and the item was as described. I asked questions during the process and the seller was responsive and helpful. I would definitely buy again from this seller

    Thank you William for the book and the kind note! The book is as described and it's a great source of knowledge concerning North American Geology. It was very well packaged and arrived within the mentioned times.
