- e***s (6)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufSeller promptly responded to inquiries with the requested information. Provided images of the condition of the product. Dust jacket slightly beaten up - to be expected. Complete absence of defects inside the book apart from a slight defect on the corner of the front page. Was shipped in good time, but shipping was costly (although it was shipped from the US to UK). Overall, very happy with both the product and the seller. I would buy from this seller again.
