It wasn't in as good condition as advertised but it definately will do. I don't like how you dont know when your going to receive the book. I ordered two books at the same time. One for my friend and one for me. I had mine sent to my house and her's sent to her house. She got her's a week before me and mine was supposed to be in better condition then her's and it wasn't. Not the end of the world, but a little confusing.
