    Item came as described and the price was good. Could have been packed better, as the item came damaged due to the shippers not handling the box with care. Just a small dent in the corner of a box set for book series. Not the biggest deal. Bubble wrap would have prevented this.

    The book, "The Unbreakable Brain," is better than "as described". It looks like a brand new, unused book in excellent condition, which makes it a super value for the cost. It was shipped in a protective package with free shipping, yet another super value! I am incredibly pleased with this seller, and they even sent me a coupon to buy four and get two books free. That's a fantastic gift and quite generous! Thank you for being an excellent seller!

Nice, pleasant, experience. Quality & Condition are superb, clean appearance & pages , well-cared for, smoke-free. As described & shown in pictures. Value surpasses similar sellers. No unpleasant surprises, good transaction. Highly recommend! Cheers, JD.

    Awesome

    Great book. I read it as a child and now I am reading it to my daughter. I don’t know what it is about this book that I liked as a child but it is so amazing to find out my daughter loves it as well. Thank you for having it on eBay.

  • Amazing!!

    The book came fast and I had no problems whatsoever. The book doesn’t appear to be used from the outside with the exception of a small scratch, and the spine is completely intact. Only one page on the inside had some pencil on it but everything else was perfect. The book is at a great value!!
