The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Great book, a must have!

    I bought the book The Dark Descent for a class I am taking, but I have found myself reading the stories in the book that are not required. The Dark Descent has classic and contemporary authors, and I would strongly recommend it! Steven King :)
