4.0 out of 5 stars took a while but excellent condition, May 24, 2011
By lovelystudent
Excellent, arrived in new condition . However i opted for the 4-14 biz day option which took about 13 actual days.I do not recommend anyone selecting that option unless they have to. Aside from that the book was awesome and I would order from this sender again.
