Perfect for Walking With fans
This was a book I wanted to have for a long time (especially as a fan of the Walking With series), but I could never find it anywhere. Now that I have it, it is everything I was hoping it would be, that being a deep coverage on all the animals that appeared in the series. The book itself was in excellent condition, with only the tiniest bit of wear on the cover. The pages were also in great shape too, with no tears or folds to speak of. Extremely happy with this.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
