This is a record of striking value. No time traveler could bring back a more valuable resource." -- Scientific America

Item arrived much faster than expected, securely packaged so there was no risk of damage to the book, which pleased me since this book means a lot to me. Seller answered my questions clearly and and quickly. The spine was slightly creased, not enough to damage and effect the integrity of the book but enough to be visible on the gloss cover, which I hadn't expected, but I also know that Warhammer paperbacks are generally quite fragile so not too bothered by this. Highly recommend this seller
