    Bravo! The 1st edition copy of Bob Dylan's CHRONICLES: Volume 1 arrived well and thoroughly packaged, in the advertised "Mint" condition. Seller nicely enclosed the book in a clear, strong plastic envelope, also sealed. Was the book overpriced? Hard to say, given the "mint condish" (including the dust jacket) and the great care taken to ensure the volume arrived unblemished given the realties of shipping anything these days, USPS or any other carrier. Recommended!

    Shipping was fast as a bullet and packaging was thick and secured enough to stop a bullet. Beautiful book as described at a great price. I just got 4 green check marks on EBay’s AI feedback grader. This is the best grade I have ever gotten on EBay. Thank you for making this possible, top-best-books.
