    This hardback book is of the highest quality, has a fine appearance , arrived in perfect condition, and is an excellent value. On what I was not asked about this time, communicating with the seller would have required using email outside of the eBay system, because they do not accept eBay messages, the book was well packed in a purpose-designed cardboard box, the shipping was faster than I expected for the bound media rate, and the book was exactly as described and pictured.

    Ok so I was looking 4 a very gritty street read, & I saw the movie so I fig'd the book'd b bttr, I got half way thru it so far & sadly I'm disappointed. He (J.Carroll) is VERY young in it,13-17,& I've been reading more about childhood sh!ts n giggles, than I hav drug related experiences. I'm not saying he isn't a talented writer,but if u want a hard drug experience read, maybe try anthr book.
