    The packaging was good, and the book is in excellent condition, just like new. Good price too, for a book that doesn't seem used at all. The one flaw was originally there was no tracking. The book was two days past its supposed delivery date so I sent a message asking if it had indeed been shipped. The reply included a tracking number. The book was delivered the next day. It would have been better if they'd provided tracking the moment it shipped.
