    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.

  • OK but could have been better.

    It's a good book for the price, but is below the standards of some of Klancher's previous books. Red Tractors and Red Combines were truly books of compelling interest. Lee seems to have put less effort into this book, so you can expect to get a little less out of it - just my take on it. Parts of it seem to me to have been written by the John Deere advertising/public relations department.
