- z***r (1253)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoGreat seller, exactly as pictured/described. quick shipping, well packaged. Books arrived in very, very good shape. A very good value for the price. Book was shipped sepeartely from the main package (4 books total) which caused some confusion when receiving them, but I figured it out. 2 tracking numbers actually used (2 packages), but only one was listed.
- 5***j (64)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoFantastic price for this item! Great seller, and the item arrived as described. It arrived in an unpadded mailer. Additionally, thank you for having a listing with *accurate* information about the presence of writing inside the book. (It explicitly said it didn't, which was clear to read and much appreciated!)! The book itself appears well-read, but is a clean internal copy, which works for my purpose :)
- _***9 (69)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoBooks are just as shown in the pictures. Though a bit dirtier than expected, the price was right. Since the seller gave the package, which was well packed, directly to USPS, instead of an intermediate carrier, it arrived very quickly. I would buy from this seller again.
