    Sent the wrong thing. Messaged the seller, not only refunded my money but went brand and sent out the correct item. Thank you for making it right.

    The book was shipped in minimal packaging, which I appreciate, but it was protected well enough that it arrived in great condition. It's a first edition book from 1976 and has been well cared for and appeared just as it did in the listing photos. I would buy from the seller again.
