4.0 out of 5 stars "Newish" old stock, goodwill quality
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 27, 2022
Book came fast and packaged relatively well. However I had payed for a NEW hardcover copy and instead received a used copy. Book was dusty, scuffed and definitely read previously. Goodwill quality for triple the price.
