    This came to me in excellent condition and was delivered in a timely manner, just as described. It came sealed in plastic, as well as being securely packaged. I couldn't find any signs of wear, it appeared as new. A gem of a book at a terrific price. Reading Tippi's own words was delightful and inspiring. The photographs are big, bold and beautiful.
