Deserves better care in Shipment - This is a a very good book and also an expensive one. Usually one, two or even the four cornes of the book suffer a lot in the delivery. There should be a policy for the shipment of books that ensures that the book arrives to its destination in the best condition posible. Or better yet, in mint condition, especially when you are buying something new. I would have wanted that the book would have arrived in better shape and not with wrinkles in the cover and in some pages. It is not a damage that makes worth the inconvenience of filing a complaint but I sure expected better Maybe a corner protector made of thick recyclable paper, cardboard or carton could be used
