No cardboard, no foam, no extra bubblewrap, nothing really protective at all. The package's corners were bumped and torn, and the external wrapping was wet (we had a foot of snow here today). Coming from a "life-long King collector" and dealer, I was absolutely astounded that she would ship a book like this. I expect it from someone on eBay, but not I didn't expect it from this sale.
I'd like to inspect for damage (it wasn't Fine to begin with), but the photos from the sale are no longer posted (not where they were anyway). Shannon, are the photos still up anywhere?
