    The Anatomy and Physiology book I Purchased was in excellent condition, it was listed as good. Not a mark on any of the pages. I paid a total of $9.31 with tax, free shipping. A great value for a six year old 1140 page text book. This is the Fourth book I have bought from thrift.books. I have been very happy with the condition and Quality of all four books I have purchased. I would buy from again.
