Thank you for the book. I have not read this book since I was in Junior High. The book is in better condition than the pictures indicated. It has reading wear but it was done with care. I love the purchase. The book arrived quickly and in a book shipping box. Thank you for the careful shipping preparation. Great customer service and communication. I am a first time buyer who highly recommends the seller.
