Book came nicely packaged, and I got worried for a second because the package took a beating, and had a small puncture hold behind it. Thankfully the additional packaging, cardboard, and tape was enough to ensure that the book arrived as shown in the pictures. I appreciate the extra care the seller put for the book, and as a sucker for all things regarding Pompeii, this was a awesome and unique find! Great seller!

Perfect transaction. This book is in absolutely pristine condition. Books in this series are always expensive, but this copy was much less so than other copies of this same book, some of which are listed as costing more than four times as much. Delivery was very quick, packaging was fine. I would be glad to do more business with this excellent seller.
