Very happy
I received great attention even though I had ordered during the holiday period. The delivery was exceedingly fast and I received the book early NewYear. It was my least expensive option on a book that was out of print and even with the quite expensive postage to Australia it was a bargain. The book, fortunately, didn’t disappoint. Very efficient staff.
