The book was in decent condition, but there were some damages due to poor packaging. The shipping of this company is absolutely abysmal. I ordered the item on April 29th and received it on May 30th. Absolutely unacceptable. They marked it shipped early on and then let it sit there in their warehouse without actually taking it to the post.
This negative review is absolutely deserved. Do better.
