    The book was in excellent condition, as described in the listing, and was excellently packaged, arriving in unblemished condition. The shipping time was very quick. While the listing showed the book with a dust jacket, the book did not come with one. I brought this to the attention of the seller, who responded to me right away, and was satisfied with the seller's explanation. I have to say that the service was in every way outstanding.

    The book arrived swiftly packaged in a protective plastic envelope, but it was a paperback not hardcover as listed. I contacted seller and they apologized, refunded me and suggested several things to do with the book after allowing me to keep it. I have gone ahead and ordered a hardcover from the same seller. I’m a repeat customer and hope to remain so. This mixup was a first, but I’m very impressed with their prompt response and professionalism. Kudos :)

    Other than a small chip on the exterior of the book, I would have assumed it was almost new. No marks or scratches on the pages and definitely not a worn out/ overly used book. If they have other books I want, I will probably buy again since it even managed to arrive 4-5 days before I expected.

    A compelling read at a value

    An informative and educational study of the form, structure, and greater social context of the letters of the alphabet. A compelling read for students of the written word.
