REVIEW
Book - heavy book with a good variety of pictures and content, giving readers a little more visual learning about WWII. Delivery to Hong Kong from US was acceptable, took 10 days from order to arrival, 3 days earlier than the expected delivery date. Packaging - The book was placed in a box with zero protection, not even paper wrapping the book - minimum damage to the book. Whilst I appreciate the minimal packaging policies for ESG pledge, since this is an overseas delivery with the item 2 weeks on the go, bare minimum environmentally friendly wrapping would have been appreciated.
