  2. Exactly as advertised and in great condition. Packages was tightly wrapped in plastic with no shipping damage. Book wasn’t terribly expensive but I didn’t cross reference others online, but for me it was a fair price. I bought two books for different sellers and this seller shipped promptly with frequent updates
