For a book the size of the one I ordered, sturdier packaging was needed. While a padded "jiffy" envelope is good for a smallish book, the weight of larger books significantly compromises their impact resistance and corner impacts (general postage handling) result in damage (and in my case did, albeit minor). Excellent price, but if you seek a large book in pristine condition, find a vendor prepared to either double-bubblewrap or bubblewrap inside a cardboard wraparound (which, individually, aren't great either but if used well tend to be better *except* for *hardcovers*)
