 Delivery was on time!
By Susan Chon
The book was in an alright condition. It had more highlighting than I had expected, but I am glad that the book was for less than what my school was going to charge me if I had purchased it on campus. Like the title said, it was delivered on time, which I was happy with regards to since I was leaving a few days after the expected arrival date. See all 1 client reviews... |
