I am above and beyond happy with my purchase! Fast shipping, well packed, exactly as described and the best value for me. My parents were good friends with the artist of this book, Joanne Hennes, and unfortunately their original book that was signed was ruined in a terrible storm. I am so grateful that this seller could help me find a replacement book. They are so hard to find! Now my mother has a replacement book as a keepsake to go with her additional signed artwork. Thank you!
