Mr. Hayden is by far the best seller of consequential books that I have had the pleasure of dealing with and purchasing from his extraordinary stock of books. He is a consummate gentleman and is fair and true to his word. He packs books with great care and ships immediately. He could do a tutorial on the best way to pack and ship books. His books are accurately described and given their scarcity and importance are a very good value. I highly recommend him to any lover of books.

It's rare to find a seller who packs a relatively inexpensive book with care. (cardboard to protect it in the mailing padded envelope). A seller that does this for a relatively inexpensive on is one I'd trust on all levels. Excellent value, condition was better than the listed very good. I am not buying rare books as much as I used to, but will be exploring this sellers stock.
