on time, great condition, good customer service:
It came on time in the mail in the condition it was promised to be. A few days later i thought i might have to return it, so i emailed the seller to ask if and how i could, and he replied in the next few hrs- they seemed nice, and told me i could.... I didn't end up having to return it, but it was nice to know that i could (and that I wouldn't get any trouble from the seller). I recommend this seller and will definitely buy from them again.
Companion/Update to my 1968 Revised Fourth Edition:
Finally got around to updating my Black's. Must say, it is well worth it and then some. If you
have not updated, this is worth the money. You'll be pleased. My '68 edition is, well, you know. Recommened.
Big BLACK book!:
ALWAYS wanted a Black's Law law book. NOW, I finally have one. The real thing. The cost was excellent, too! Low. Amazing! And the shipping was quick.
