This rare 1931 first edition, signed by Will Durant, exceeded all expectations. The book and dust jacket are in astoundingly good condition—truly remarkable for a 94-year-old publication. Exactly as described, no surprises—just perfection. It was expertly packaged (I had concerns about my local USPS, but it arrived flawlessly). Communication was wonderful, making this a smooth and trustworthy transaction. Highly recommended seller!
