Exactly as described. Seller provided pictures of actual book sold which was very helpful. Not only was the shipping very quick, the book was packaged incredibly well. The book was protected so well during shipping that it arrived without any damage. This is likely the best bookseller I have ever ordered from on eBay. This seller is a true professional and a deserving of your business.
