    I must say from the very beginning of this transaction that everything went smooth. The seller gave me a good quality product for a great price that was brand new and appeared to be better than what was pictured. I plan on purchasing more products in the near future from this seller. The product was shipped and packaged with care and love. Magnificent communication and all of what I said makes this seller a great asset to the eBay community as well as the marketplace.

  • Must have for any new dad!

    Perfect book for the rookie dad! Humorous read that makes sense out of a life changing event. Not sure if I'm 100% ready, but I am at least well prepared!

  • Hilariously helpful!

    This book is definitely written for men. Made me laugh out loud on several occasions. These guys have done their homework though. There are so many helpful tips & tricks that every day can employ to make their baby's life a little (or a lot) better. I already bought 3 extra copies & gave them away as gifts to other dads.
