Neben der ausführlichen Artikelbeschreibung mit vielen Bildern (welche dem realen Zustand des Buches entsprachen) verlief die Kommunikation sehr informativ mit kurzen Reaktionszeiten. Der Versand aus den USA nach Deutschland dauerte nur 1 Woche. Das Buch war sehr gut und sicher verpackt. Alles bestens, vielen Dank, jederzeit wieder!

Book in good condition, as advertised. Well packed, swift shipping. Only disappointment, seller was intractable, refused to engage in any discussion about price. Just sent standard replies, ignoring my reasons, felt corporate. As if an employee who is not authorized to say anything.
