    Excellent eBay seller with good communications!!! Book came as described (GOOD condition), reasonably packaged (plastic mailer bag with 3 other books), and in very good time considering free shipping (projected delivery 5/7 thru 5/12; rcvd 5/10). Have purchased multiple books from SecondSalecom, and have been quite satisfied with the quality, appearance, and value of those purchases. Will definitely check their selection for future book purchases. Thanks, SecondSalecom!

    I had a positive experience with this seller. I did receive an incorrect item in my package, but when I reached out to the seller about the problem, they responded in a timely manner and resolved the issue. Items were packaged in a bag but arrived in good condition as described. I am very happy with the condition of the books I received. Great value. I have already placed additional orders with this seller. Thank you!
