The book was in much better condition than I expected. The volunteers at Friends of the Springfield Library were wonderful to work with to get my bid accepted, paid, and the book shipped out. They carefully wrapped it in paper before putting it in the rest of the shipping packaging. I would definitely buy from them again.
