Thank you for shipping so quickly! Your good packaging kept it dry even after exposure to rain during delivery. The book is in great condition for its age and the maps are even better than the pictures showed. What a great deal for me. The two maps alone are worth the price of the book. Highly recommended seller! AAAAA+++++!!!!!

Would gladly buy from this seller again. My book was shipped quickly, packaged well, and had good communication. The book is a little rougher than I had expected, but that is all on me. It is in the stated condition and I am very pleased with my purchase. Thank you for a very positive experience.
