One of the best experiences from a seller that I have had in my 9 years using ebay. Shipped quickly, books came shrink wrapped and wrapped in a thank you cover. Came better then described, near mint condition at a very affordable price. Two of my favorite books signed by my favorite author at a great price, Thank you so much!
