This was a perfect transaction! I got a great price on a beautiful, near-mint book. It's every bit as good as described and pictured. Shipping was very fast, and the book was packed in bubble wrap and a padded manila mailer. Personally I like to have a box around my book, but all Is well and I'm VERY HAPPY with my purchase. This seller really appreciates his buyers! There was a printed invoice, and also a handwritten one with a thank you note. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! A++++++++++ :) :)
