- o***o (458)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAfter paying $13.23 for this book, which was listed as "Very Good" condition, I expected more. Ebay's own policy states, "Very good: The book does not look new and has been read but is in excellent condition... There are no missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, and no underlining/highlighting of text or writing in the margins..." I found 21 pages with writing and highlighting, which I plan to fix with white-out. But it's clearly listed inaccurately as "Very Good".
