"You can always spot bright people. They are reading a book". Thus, those words by the great Gary Soto ring true, though they also apply to those that sell books at an amazingly fair price, and in a pristine state, like this seller! This item was signed by the very brightest bulb that penned those words, and after a swift and safe delivery in its beautifully packaged vessel, I can say that I could not be happier with this buying experience! For the merchant, a 12/10, and their gem an A++!!

The magazine was shipped quickly and packaged with extreme care to avoid any damage. The photos for this magazine showed it to be in good condition. However, it was not only in good condition but actually BETTER than described or shown. For the age of this item (1913) and its fine condition, this item was a terrific buy and well worth the cost. To me, it is priceless. I would certainly purchase from this seller again. A definite 5++++ in every category.

Even better condition than described, with cover protected by mylar. Packaged securely in bubble wrap, placed in a sturdy box, and any empty space filled with crumpled paper. Arrived on time, and was well worth the price. In addition, the seller was kind enough to give me a discount. A great ebayer, from whom I would happily buy again.
