- 2***r (179)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimo annoAcquisto verificatoThis item arrived in excellent condition in a sturdy cardboard box. It was securely wrapped in bubble wrap and covered with styrofoam peanuts. I’m always impressed when a book is shipped with extra care. The shipping speed was very fast and the item was as described on the website. For a book published in 1981 and being in quite good condition, I think this purchase was a decent value overall. I am pleased with my purchase and would definitely buy from this seller again. Thank you!!Custer and His Times (LIMITED EDITION OF 320 COPIES) (N° 385417903596)
