I bought it for my mum's birthday and she loves it. It has good information and images explaining things in excellent detail. It arrived well packaged and in new condition as advertised. Simplybestprices was the cheapest I found on the internet, so I went with them. The only negative was with the shipping, not the product. I ordered in Dec 2024 and it took many weeks before getting shipping details and then the delivery date kept changing and moving later. It eventuallly arrived early Feb.

Buy your books here. These people ship things in a box. I can't even explain how great that was to get my new book in a box. Every big bookseller on ebay ships to you in a plastic bag. And if you ask them to ship it to you in a box they get really stupid. They can't do it. "A box? What are you talking about? A box, preposterous!" This seller is where I'm looking first when I come to eBay for a book. Shame on all you sellars anywhere shipping books in plastic bags and bubble wrap sleeves.
