Very pleased with this purchase. Shipped quickly at a great price and condition was definitely "very good" in my opinion rather than "good" as described - I would not have noticed the edge wear unless it was pointed out to me (it was quite miniscule and not at all unpleasant to see), and I don't mind remainder marks (maybe some buyers do). Accurate descriptions make for happy customers, so I appreciate the seller taking the trouble to do so.

My book arrived early! Excellent job wrapping my book and protecting it from harm in shipment. The cardboard envelope/inserts kept it safe from postal abuse. (Your detailed item description and low price made the sale over your competitors.) I look forward to doing business with you again. Thank you very much!
