This book is perfect as was the communication from the Seller! It is a gift for our new Electrician grandson & he will be thrilled. The packaging was excellent, especially considering the miles it had to travel to get to us: bubble wrap padding with cardboard reinforcements inside of a plastic envelope with the perfect amount of tape to secure it all. Kudos to Royal Editions : )

It took a month to arrive, but was well worth the wait. Quality materials and binding, just as advertised. Securely packaged and sealed. A great value in an otherwise rare and out of print book.
