- o***t (749)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis books condition was listed as very good. It was shipped in a a padded envelope which is insufficient for a paperback volume. So the book got a little ratty on the edges which is disappointing, but not bad enough to fuss about. Seems like most eBay book sellers toss the books in essentially a bag and send them off media mail for the USPS to destroy enroute. They can be shipped just as inexpensively in a box or at least in a hard carboard casing like the good old days.
