Purchased book from Books From California from Amazon listing(072708), which had no description and listed condition as good. Seller had same book listed at same time on Abe's Books, which I found after making purchase. That listing had a description of good condition with some creases and tears.
Book was delivered 080825. First, book was poorly packed. It is to large(12" X 17") and to heavy(1.75 pounds) for any kind of envelope, but that is what was used.
