Not the best...
I was pleased to be able to find this book for a friend who had been looking for it. I ordered 6 total books of this series. As they were somewhat difficult to locate, This one took 11 days for arrival. I ended up with multiple vendors for my orders. Every vendor, with the exception of Discover Books (also listed as Hippo Books), had the books in waterproof mailers. The other vendors also had the books in either bubble wrap and/or plastic insert inside the mailers. This vendor did not. The mailer this vendor used was very bent upon arrival, but more upsetting on the inside of mailer was a STICKY coating. The uncovered book almost ripped as I gently attempted to get it out. There was nothing at all covering the book, (just sticky residue), & no paperwork whatsoever. Lastly, it was a 1985 paperback, with a brand new white barcode sticker on the front cover. I'm 57, & they did not use these in 1985. I was not able to remove it w/out tearing front cover. All in all, I was disappointed, especially in comparison to the small, but important measures taken by other vendors to ensure the best product & arrival in good condition.
