I buy from this seller all the time . I so appreciate sellers like this. So on top of their business. The prices are right. Communication is perfect and the turnaround. Sometimes I pay and an hour hasn’t gone by and a shipping label is created and out it goes the next morning, the care taken to make sure the items, mostly containing paper and very old arrive in perfect condition

The book was beautiful and in wonderful condition! The shipping was quick and the packaging was secure. The book was maybe even better than described (I am not a well versed collector, but to me this was absolutely great for how old it was), and was overall a super price for the book! Great seller and a wonderful experience!
