    When I pay $133 for a book, I should think the seller would ship in more than a bubble envelope with a cardboard wrap. The only reason I didn't leave negative fb is because by some miracle, the book made it.

    The book that I ordered- “The Sack of Rome” (1527) arrived quickly and in perfect condition. It was purchased for a very good price. I highly recommend this eBay seller. A + !!
