An absolutely beautiful signed volume from on of our greats. Already on the shelf in my law office library. Carefully packaged and rapid shipping with reasonable price and just as described. I was honored to see Professor Gould as a guest lecturer while an undergraduate at Auburn and he was as amazing live and I have always wanted this first edition in my library.

Item was received as described. The packaging was excellent. Shipping cost was overpriced. I paid $12 for shipping. It took a week to receive because it was sent via media mail. The media mail label said it only cost $7.50. Nowhere in the listing did it say shipping was media mail. Where did the rest of my shipping payment go?
