    Excellent packaging with bubble wrap completely covering purchase. Fast shipping with a personalized note "Hope you love it." Although image on listing doesn't show item, it is accurate in that it is brand new! My wife was very happy to receive the twilight collector edition DVD which comes with flower! Highly recommend seller.

    Shipped pretty quickly and packaged safely. Great quality! Pages look nice and is practically new! Was bubble wrapped and in a plastic mailer to keep it dry. Very happy with my purchase. Good value. I can't wait to start reading. Blah blah blah you know the deal for some reason ebay won't let me post this unless it's 500 characters and that's insane I got my point across in one sentence but I know feedback is important for small businesses.
