- l***t (1625)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThis transaction was decent overall. The book was described as "new" and yet it obviously was not. However, it was still in very nice condition, so no big deal I suppose. The packaging left a lot to be desired though and I was surprised that the book arrived relatively undamaged.
