    I bought a book listed as Very Good, but when it arrived it was an ex-library book not mentioned in the description. I contacted the seller and they were very apologetic and said they didn't know that was supposed to be in the listing. They agreed they will mention it in the future and gave me a partial refund. Thank you!
