Will buy from this seller again. Fantastic price and I do belive the book was shipped exactly as described. That being said it was shipped in a thin envelope that was about as thick as construction paper and the inside was covered with glue. Book still arrived in decent shape but I think adding some bubble wrap in the future would be a good idea. I'm still giving a 5 star review because it was shipped quickly and I belive when it was given to the post office it was in the described condition.

    Superior book with lots of examples. Very easy read and gives reasons for all his opinions. Excellent reference for the used boat buyer, even if you don't buy the exact boats listed, it gives details to look for in similar boats. Enjoyed it very much!
