I was delighted that you had the book I needed — when no one else did — but I thought it was really overpriced given the condition is in. I’m almost afraid to open it as I fear the pages will fall out.

Shipping for more than one book can be tricky
I ordered 2 books, and received shipping/tracking info. However, I received one book, and got several communications that made it look like the 2nd book was on it's way to be delivered by a certain date. The 2nd book came much later, but the tracking could have been much better.
