"With admirable clarity and on the basis of the most comprehensive knowledge of the subject, Professor Kane charts a way through a jungle of arguments, counterarguments, and rebuttals of those arguments. . . .

They shipped it quickly and boy did they do a GREAT job packing it. Obviously not their first rodeo. When USPS gave me issues (by no fault of the seller) they were responsive and willing to work with me if it didn't show up. Luckily it did! I'd have no problems buying something from them again.

Antique, niche item that was priced correctly for rarity. Along the way the outer box got squashed pretty good, in fact I was scared to look inside. Sellers packaging was enough to keep glass and filaments from damage so all is well that ends well. Very HTF item with correct early GE logo.
