- n***3 (1971)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoI made a mistake and should have waited to make my offer until I had researched all other sources for this title. I found a better copy of the audiobook and asked the seller to cancel my order. They did so immediately and issued a full refund along with a very pleasant personal message. This is the kind of people you run across from time to time on eBay. They make the platform work. THANK YOU!!! A+++++++
