Everything about my experience of purchasing these books has been wonderful. I’m so glad to know that a bookstore like this exists. I have now been to their website and have even made a request for a book. I would post pictures but I am too lazy. Just know that there were actually two volumes (I have been fooled by other sellers before), everything was in excellent/as described condition and arrived at n a timely manner.
