A lovely book, in excellent condition (as described); and so well-protected against the possibility of damage while in transit. Many thanks indeed to the seller for this. All aspects of the transaction have been trouble-free: price; meticulous accuracy of description; great care taken in packaging; speed of transit; scrupulously fair-minded and honest in communication. A first-class eBay seller. Highly recommended. Thank you, Steve, very much for a beautiful book.
