Rapid delivery. Very well packaged. Excellent service. NOTE: The following is NOT this seller's fault - just an observation about this book. The book is in very good condition but unfortunately the original publisher (1928) did not check what was sent out from the printing office. The book is missing one chapter and includes two exact duplicate copies of another chapter. It does however have several excellent maps and I have decided to keep it. The seller still deserves an excellent review.
