Ordered this for school and it came very fast and was in excellent condition for me. I just wish this was not the book the professor wanted because it is extremely hard to find someone who will buy this off of you. Great product and service!

The condition that the book was described was not accurate. It was slightly worst. But there wasn't any highlighting or marks other than the physical condition.
