Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet.

Alle Seiten sind vollständig vorhanden. Genauere Einzelheiten sowie eine Beschreibung eventueller Mängel entnehmen Sie bitte dem Angebot des Verkäufers.

The quality is exactly as described, it’s in great condition, the appearance is clean and basically brand-new, and it came at an excellent price.

This was an excellent buying experience and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from this seller again.
- 0***1 (1598)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThis book arrived within the time period given and was in the 'very good' condition described. Unfortunately, only being packaged in a plastic bag to traverse the Atlantic meant that all four corners got a battering (I would be happy to pay bit more in future for a bit of cardboard support in packaging) but all in all, the price was good and overall service for books that are difficult to get over here, I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend this seller. Will buy again from them.
