The book was meticulously packed in several layers of plastic and bubble wrap, a cardboard box and outer shipping bubble envelope. This seller cares as much about the items as the purchaser does. Excellent communication as well. I urge anyone purchasing books on eBay to use this seller. I will be doing all my future book ordering through this seller. Thank you
