This is a CD with PDF files on it: The rulebook; the counters; the mapboard; and various articles from the General magazine, covering the Wooden Ships & Iron Men game.
It’s definitely worth the $15 investment to have these materials in electronic format, fully searchable in Acrobat Reader.
I have one objection against this vendor: He added me to an e-mail list without my permission, which is a violation of eBay’s policies. He was extremely cavalier about my request to be removed from the list, as well, although he did eventually remove me.
The experience was negative enough so that it deserves mention. I doubt I will use this vendor again.

I was prepared for this item to cost a lot more than the $41 I spent for it; used copies of Wooden Ships & Iron Men sell on eBay for about $30.
The item wasn’t as pristine as advertised — the shrink wrap is actually darkened and scuffed up — but it’s close enough for my purposes and well worth what I spent. Further, it was very well packed, double-boxed, and shipped quickly.
I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from this vendor again.

Thanks to a bad title, filing this in the wrong category and an awful product description, I was able to purchase this game — which should have gone for about $30-$40 — for considerably less than that.
Shipped in a flat-rate envelope, which didn’t matter much because as the listing notes, the box is pretty well flattened. I bought this with the intention of opening it and playing it, but I may opt to resell it.
I would buy from this seller again.
