They were doubled bagged in bubble wrap envelops, and arrived very quickly. The books are in excellent condition; better than I expected coming from a second hand. The package also included a print out of my order that detailed the quality and any appearance issues noted by the seller. Overall, this was a very informative and transparent transaction.
