Seller was very gracious. She refunded me my money but sent me the book anyway because it had some damage to it, which is why I gave it only three stars for its condition, but I really had not expected such nice handling of this particular situation.
Very nice, Thank You

Contents were exactly as described. Good quality, good value. Largest box was broken in delivery but I was more interested in the flies anyway so it's not a big deal. A+
