KEEPIng the offer longer
May 15, 2023

Overall good, but the prices are moving very quickly, so I am removing several books; All your competitors do maintain the offered price much longer. For this reason, BOOKsrun is not my first choice

This book was in excellent condition, looked new. I already had one but it was getting pretty ratty with all the use I give it. I believe reference books are worth their weight in gold. This purchase and shipping was reasonable and a good bargain. If I come across books sold by this seller I will buy from them again.
