Ce livre est exactement ce que j'avais commandé. Il est arrivé dans un parfait état en plus d'arriver avant la date de livraison estimé (il était supossé arrivé entre le 28 août et le 13 septembre mais il est arrivé le 22 août). Je suis très satisfaite du produit et le prix payé sur amazon était plus que résonnable! Je le recommande à ceux qui aurait besoin de ce livre!
