The merchandise was in good condition. The packaging was thorough. Don't send me email stating a delivery date if said emails mean nothing. Simply amending the delivery date every time an item doesn't show when it's supposed to approaches unethical.

Other than not being the 510-page book I remember as a child, the purchase is very well-liked. I received it quickly, the price was perfect, and the book arrived in excellent packaging and condition. A very good buy. I'd do it again if I ever need to come back.
