Bought as a present and it did the job nicely, still in it's eBay packaging as well.
My daughter expressed her delight as she had heard of it, and with her liking the intelligent side to octopi it was a nice reward for me too. I've now asked her to let her eight year old daughter read it as I'd heard it was suitable for children, especially if they really like wild life. She then offered to let me have it back as she added that I too would like it.
A win-win situation as they say!
