The book arrived just as advertised. It was shrink wrapped in a box perfectly protected and on a rainy day. I was concerned about it getting wet, but it did not. In fact, it is in exactly the same condition as it was in the advertisement. The seller was excellent to deal with and I will not hesitate to do business with them again if they ever have anything I am interested in.

Ordered on Friday, received by Wednesday (USPS Media Mail). Very impressed with quick shipping from SC to PA (tracking kept pushing out delivery date; received earlier than expected). Packaged securely and bubble-wrapped. The book is as described and in very good condition--made an offer and received item at a great price.
