    Seller was fantastic! Book was in exact condition as described. Item arrived earlier than expected by a few days. Book was packed exceptionally well and with care (many layers of wrapping done in a secure way). Great value, fast communication, seller prepped and shipped package same day as order placed. Will order from again and would easily recommend.

    The items arrived two days early! Wow! The books were packaged to avoid any damage in shipment. If you receive books through the USPS you know what can happen to a package; Diddens Place did a great job here. Good condition?? No, the books were more in excellent to new condition, even the one hard cover! As described they were perfect. Value? The price was fantastic for the quality!! We shall certainly do business with Diddens Place again when looking for hard-to-find books.

    Received my item sooner than I expected based on seller messages. Was packed and shipped with excellent quality. It was in better condition than I expected and looked almost new, so, I'm really happy about this. All in all, this was a great transaction and I would buy from this seller again.
