I received the book and its in good condition. The seller was responsive to my questions regarding delivery. I used standard delivery and it took about 4 weeks from Hawaii. Next time I'll double check the delivery options.

Great book for understanding the social welfare in international context. For the people who want to have a global perspective or view a wide theoretical spectrum of social policy, I strongly recommend this book.
