  1. Both copies were brand new as described! I tried to get a deal ordering used from another seller but when those two used copies arrived I realized they were not gift worthy. These look like they were captured in time. Well worth the little bit more that I paid. They also came very sturdily packed in thick cardboard so there was no bending or tearing in transit. This seller ticks all of the A+ boxes for what I expect from ebay. Highly recommended and hope to do business here again in the future.

  2. I was extremely impressed by this seller - item arrived in condition exactly as described, books are obviously brand new in condition. The packaging was careful and secure, preventing any potential damage during shipping, proving this seller knows their stuff when it comes to shipping books. I purchased 4 books from this seller and the quality is top notch, they don’t look like they’ve ever been touched before. 10/10 seller, good value, will buy again!
