5.0 out of 5 stars Just As I Expected :)

This book came within a reasonable time (a day earlier than expected, to be exact). It was also in top notch condition. There was plastic wrap and a code came with the book (as described in the description). Would buy from this company again if I needed to, no doubt about it.
