Product Information

- c***m (124)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExcellent service: ordered late on Sunday, good tracking, delivered by Royal Mail on Wednesday. The book was well wrapped , correct description of condition (good). Low price.
- n***a (37)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI ordered 2 copies and the first arrived very quickly and as described. The invoice stated that the second was being sent separately. I tried tracking but it only referred to the first book. After over a week I contacted them and received an e-mail telling me they didn't have any copies and would refund me. So I've had to access another copy from elsewhere for my son.

It was in a plastic bag and I would have preferred a bit more protection, but luckily it was not damaged. As it cost so little, I'm not complaining. Great e-bayer; thank you! A+
