Description
# Media mail is considered lowest priority by postal service. Delivery sometimes takes much longer than the estimate, especially during the holiday season. There is nothing I can do to speed up the process. I am offering the option of priority shipping, which is faster and more reliable, but unfortunately , more expensive. Priority mail can sometimes be a bit later than the ebay estimate, but media mail has been known to be weeks late. That is the unusual case, but it does happen. Gilberto Amado, Mocidade No Rio E Primeira Viagem A Europa, 1956, Portuguese, ch. 447 pages Leather spine and overlap. Leather corners. Good condition. Moderate wear. Pencilled notation in cursive along with old price on 2nd blank page. Small moisture stain at front page borders first few pages. Light moisture stain on bottom page corners which becomes darker toward back of book. It presents no obstacle to legibility and is hardly noticeable up until last 80 pages or so. There are a few light stains on text block exterior. Pages are clean and in good condition aside from the stains mentioned. Lightly tanned. There is a small gap in the binding between the first 2 blank pages at the back of the book. This does not appear to be spreading and could well be an original defect from binders. Cover hinges are intact and binding is solid.

The item is not just as described, but in better condition. In making an offer to purchase it, I did not notice that the seller had an ongoing sale; they accounted for this and gave me a partial refund. They did not have to do this at all and I really do appreciate their honesty. Although this book is still in print, it is difficult to find in this particular hardcover edition and despite its cost actually represents excellent value. The book was packaged well and shipped promptly.

Wish I could leave ten stars for every aspect of this transaction:the 60+year old copy was bargain priced and in better than advertised condition, communication was superb, packaging was extremely protective, and the book was shipped promptly. It's obvious that the seller is a bibliophile, and an exceptionally kind, gracious one at that.Highest recommendation, and I hope to shop here again soon.

One of the greatest sellers I’ve had the pleasure of doing business with in 26 years on here. Exceptional professionalism in every way—from the listing and description to the packaging, shipping, and communication. It arrived very quickly and in flawless condition, exactly as seen/described. Thank you again for everything! My highest recommendation. A++++++++
