Shipped & delivered quickly. I'm happy with the purchase and the price. 'Very good condition' was a little inaccurate. The book pages were intact and not too yellowed (impressive for its age). Cover largely undamaged BUT there was a sticker on the front cover in a prominent place that was half-peeled off, which had torn the cover. The peeled adhesive was covered in black hair and fibres, which was kind of gross. Would still buy from seller again regardless.
