      I got 4 books from this seller. One was wrong book (same writer,simular covers) which,when you order used books several at a time from big used book warehouses, this happens every now and then. Seller contacted me and refunded within a couple hours on the same business day. These people do business right.The 3 others were just as described, packed perfect. Shipping was on time. Good books at good price and a seller who does business right. I highly recommend this seller and the items I ordered.

      Book was priced well and arrived in condition described. My only complaint is it was shipped in a very thin plastic mailer, and one corner of the cover and several pages were scuffed and curled as a result. I would have appreciated the seller either using a thicker mailer or doubling the thin mailer to protect my purchase, as I've had other sellers do.
