My Lennox vase arrived Friday afternoon and it was so beautifully packed! It was packed so securely so that the delicate China wouldn’t break during transit. The price was very reasonable and I would buy from this seller again.

I was looking at this dvd from another seller as well. I choose this one even though they were a little higher. They offered a return policy that the other did not do. As far as shipping, dvd was well packaged. In addition, dvd was exactly as represented. A very good experience. Almost forgot, product arrived on time as promised.

    Graphic Design Bible

    From what I understand, if you are a Visual Communications major, this book would be your bible. I am not, but I believe this to be a very helpful companion to my major and it has extensive content.
