Shipping was fast and the item was exactly as described it was packaged very well and a great value. I grew up in northern Virginia and as a child my father was a friend of Mr Eike, we would often go over to his house and he would tell the most fascinating stories. At one time my dad had a copy of this book, but it was lost to time. I was discussing Mr Eike with my wife and I told her of the book he has written and decided to look on eBay for a copy, imagine my surprise finding this one. Thanks
