    The items arrived today, exactly when they were supposed to. The package was marked as "fragile" (which very few sellers do) to ensure no damage in transit. The books were exactly as described and in perfect shape (upon being unwrapped). And, thanks to a generous offer, I got each volume well below retail price! All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase, from this seller, and plan on reading them as soon as I can! Thank you for passing them along in such great shape!

    Shipping was SO fast!! I don't even know how you did it that fast honestly! It was also packaged really safely with extra cardboard and paper to prevent bending. I think your prices are very fair and your description is accurate as far as damage.
