    The recent music CD purchase was reasonably priced, order processed without delay & the CD shipped promptly. The song selection & sound quality of this CD are very nice. This seller’s reply to my question via email provided the information I needed in order to make the purchase of this music CD. Overall, I would buy from this seller again. Other seller’s I contacted sent an auto-reply stating they receive too many E-messages therefore they do not answer questions re: their products!

    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!!
