The Seller listed the book in a “ Very Good “ condition, & I asked the Seller to ship the book in a secure packaging & the seller seemed to agree , but the book was shipped in a flimsy plastic wrap which arrived with tears in the plastic & other damage & a scratch upon the cover of the book & spine damage to the book. The sellers communication was also an interesting issue . I got a full refund only after covering every minute detail double time. That was my experience with this Seller.

shipped as agreed, packaged safely, CDs were listed as "Excellent" but discs were badly scuffed and scratched, probably closers to "Acceptable." Got a good deal so I am submitting positive feedback.

Great eBay seller and quick to get back to my message with pleasant communication.
The book, listed as ‘Very Good', was as shown and described.
Fast shipping considering the inclement weather we were all dealing with!
I recommend this seller and would not hesitate to buy from again.
