    Graphic novel album was sealed, NM, great value. Seller was great and responsive to communication. Item initially did not arrive despite tracking and me calling USPS, and seller was willing to provide refund to make it right. Ultimately the package showed up days later, which was baffling; seller provided A+ customer service through all of this. Thank You!

    My statue was exactly as described, it was un-opened and in perfect condition! Totally wirth the price. Getting it shipped took a little long but the seller was very responsive when I messaged and sent me the tracking as soon as it was available. Plus they did a good job packaging it well enough that despite being banged up on the outside my item was completely undamaged.

    The basket is perfectly what I ordered and as listed. It came in the factory packaging and was perfect upon delivery. Thank you postal service lol. The delivery took way longer than listed though, it was listed to come in a week from purchase, but took a whole month. I had some concerns at first, but communication with the company was top notch and they were very professional and answered most of my questions satisfyingly. Just prepare for a longer wait than listed, but I got what I bought lol.

    Fantastic!

    Pretty much instant message with link, along with the ease of use and great content for such a low price, not many reasons someone wouldn't get this. Thank you for the book!

    Helpful in plant ID for the average person

    The title says it all. Identifying the edible plants in my yard was the reason i bought it. Simple enough for the lay person but enough fascinating science for those who want to learn more.

    Fastest Way to Learn Plant Identification

    I absolutely love this book! I bought it as a gift for someone, but in the interim, I ended up reading through it and decided to get a copy for myself. This is the fastest way to educate yourself in plant identification. It groups plants into families and gives you signs to look for so you can at least have a vague idea of what you are dealing with, in almost every circumstance. It mentions poisonous members of that family to beware of, or if there are no harmful examples. There is information on edibles and medicinals. The illustrations are beautifully detailed. Each chapter is a simple lesson for the day, with a quiz at the end to test your newfound knowledge. Read it as if it were a textbook. I would recommend BOTANY IN A DAY as a starting place for anyone interested in gaining basic ...
