- n***y (147)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book is exactly as expected. I Love that. It was way over packaged, and that isn’t a bad thing. It did take a long time to get to me but I didn’t appear to be able to pay for faster shipping. One size fits all kind of thing. All in all, a wonderful experience and I will not hesitate to purchase from this seller again.The Sinister Pig by Tony Hillerman - Hardcover 2003 First Edition (#203032723569)
