    As usual, this seller is completely trustworthy: the book was as described, terrific value, arrived very swiftly from America, well packaged and safe. It was an old library book, but in great condition and appearance, and there can be no criticism, simply thanks and praise for a job well done.

    a very good read - with caveat

    Excellent and very extensive informative content - a very good read - caveat is that it is printed in high- density, smaller font which needs glasses to enjoy
