You'll be transported to various wilderness scenes as I was.

    Couldn't be better!!! I received a hardback book in like new condition (as described) and at a very good price. Excellent packaging and prompt shipping. The cost of shipping always makes me think twice, but it is what it is & it's not the seller's fault. Would definitely buy from this seller again.
