The book arrived in very good condition. The condition was as described in great detail in the ad. The book came wrapped in bubble wrap, very well protected, in a thick cardboard box with foam padding around it. It's impossible to send a better-packaged product. The seller's service was very prompt and friendly. I highly recommend it.
