5 out of 5 starsThis poor baby! It's pages are so brittle and disentegrating before my very eyes. That being said, I knew this in advance and will try to find a way to preserve it if at all possible. It arrived quickly and well packaged. Thanks

4 out of 5 starsCondition was exactly as described and arrived quickly. Packaging was VERY thorough, like almost too much, but I appreciate the effort. No way that thing was getting damaged.
