- t***c (8)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook was listed as ‘very good’ condition. The picture by no means reflects the condition of the book, it was extremely marked up and highlighted (I’d consider close to ‘acceptable’ at best) and came via the slow boat from CA, about 14 days to receive. I contacted the seller to address the condition discrepancy and they have not replied to my inquiry so sadly forced to give a poor review.
