    Item was very well packaged and nicely wrapped. The book itself was mostly as described, however there were a couple stains on the pages that were not described in the listing, and the dust jacket was warped in a way that wasn’t clear from the photos. Shipping costs were fair enough, and as mentioned packaging was fantastic. Overall good seller, would buy again.

    It's true, good reading and a book I would read over more than once or twice.

    It's a book you can't put down until finished, leaving you wishing there was more to read...
