Three cheers for your eBay business! After contacting a number of sellers, you were the only one who took the time to answer ALL of my questions prior to the purchase. Recently I had to return books as sellers' condition ratings did not match the quality of items sent. Also, many thanks for carefully and securely wrapping and packing the volume to avoid damage in transit. I am very grateful for the top-tier support, exemplary customer care, and yeoman service. Rating: A++++
