My new copy shipped from USA... shame they sent it out in a flimsy, oversized plastic jiffy bag that didn't protect it properly. I class it now as... used good condition, due to poor packaging. How about shrink wrapping it for extra protection desertcart/seller. Review: Beautiful Book - Worth every cent
