    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe

    Excellent purchase. Was able to get all three items from the one seller. Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.

  • Stretch the tight muscles that cause pain.

    This book has the full body of muscles. Each muscle or muscle combo is highlighted for a stretch. There are pictures of the stretches. I bought the book because I have back and neck issues that can easily be fixed by stretching- correctly. I will always have back and neck issues from injuries but when the muscles get tight or overused, this book shows stretching exercises to ease up that pain.
