Product is 95% alike picture but a little more blurry. Controller play well but had a notice from psn that my joypad wasn't authentic and could by problematic🤷‍♂️ no trouble so far! Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

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!

  • Good but the “stories” are actually one story broken into short chapters.

    A very short book with few actual stories which were quite brief. It was actually one story broken into chapters. It should have been at least twice as long for the price. The “stories” were good and most of the words I wanted were translated, so it was educational.

  • This is such a great resource

    I love this book. Short stories in English and Spanish. I can read in one language and immediately see the translation. If you are learning a new language, this is a great way to go beyond simple exercised. It is a bit too advanced for rank beginners but it did motivate me to do better in Spanish.

  • Good book for practicing reading comprehension

    English translation included in the stories. Stories simpler to understand than other Spanish short storybooks.
