Contents were exactly as described. Good quality, good value. Largest box was broken in delivery but I was more interested in the flies anyway so it's not a big deal. A+

Seller was very gracious. She refunded me my money but sent me the book anyway because it had some damage to it, which is why I gave it only three stars for its condition, but I really had not expected such nice handling of this particular situation.
Very nice, Thank You
