This was the only copy that I could find on the internet anywhere so it seems this is the original and was never reprinted. The seller was willing to accept an offer of a few dollars off which was nice, and I appreciated the effort in shipping this book in both a well packaged and timely manner. It will make a great gift for my sister for her birthday. The seller with kind enough to show me a few pages of what to expect, which also fueled my desire to purchase. Definitely recommend this seller!

Wow, this is one of the best purchase experiences I have had! The book was in pristine condition, just as described, and the seller was open to a counter offer. And, I'm not sure I have ever seen better packaging. So carefully done! To top it off, the package arrived several days ahead of the projected date. What's not to like! This book was part of a two-book purchase and shipped together, so I will leave the exact same description for the other one.
