This seller had great communication and integrity. I initially asked for an additional photo of something specific which was sent quickly, then I negotiated the price. The seller contacted me with several options when the book's binding failed while being prepared to ship and they were very honest. I took the option for a partial refund and having them repair the book before shipping. Once the repair was made, new pics were sent, the shipping was fast and packaged well. I recommend this seller.

Been reading a PDF of this on my phone and really wanted to get a physical copy. Awesome seller experience. Book was extremely well-protected in shipping and arrived quickly. Condition was exactly as described.
