I bought this book to replace our original copy that saw some hard usage. This is my favorite book in the Dragonrider of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey. The copy I received arrived in excellent condition as described on the web site. I would definitely purchase other books from this seller, Robert Gavora, Fine-Rare Books.
