Seller carefully wrapped the book prior to packaging it in a padded heavy envelope. He shipped it out quickly and it arrived today after less than a week in transit. This book is the Bible for we Collectors of German Edged Weapons, and its author started the Hobby I enjoy. It is in exceptional condition and well worth the value as my current copy is worn after decades of use and research. This addition has an Imperial Section that is without equal. I highly recommend this Seller!

The book arrived faster than expected—it was even gift-wrapped! I really appreciated the extra care the shipper provided to ensure the book arrived in great shape. The book was in better shape than I expected, exceeding the description. It was an a great value for the price paid. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I would be happy to order from them again.

The book I ordered was every bit as good as described, and frankly, in better condition than I expected. The price for this relatively hard-to-find book was very fair, and shipping costs were reasonable. Delivery was remarkably fast. Packaging was superlative... This book was well protected in transit! I recommend this seller and would buy from them again.
