    Book arrived quickly and in described condition. Packaging was just a waterproof mailer that arrived already open on one end, but the book suffered no damage from exposure. Likely, it was caused during the shipping process. The price was incredibly fair for the condition, and shipping was free. It cost far less than ordering it through their company website. Would absolutely buy from them again.

    I bought this as a gift for my husband, who read the series as a kid. The books were in fantastic shape and the product arrived in a timely manner. I already knew he loved the stories.
