Without exaggeration, this is a seller of the first rank. The packaging, mailing materials and care put into shipping were impeccable. The condition of the item was far above what was listed, and had by far the best price alongside the comparables. Furthermore, the book arrived earlier than the tracking date. In all, the experience overwhelmingly exceeded expectations.

  • precious Stones Vol 2 by Max Bayer

    Material for the book is dated (beginning of the twentyth century but even so a great deal of useful information with regard to the various genstones, known at the time, is found. As a historical reference the book is excellent but not an 'easy' read. The amount of information that the author gathered is really astounding. A section on the identification of various coloured stones is especially useful. This is a book for the serious collector. The book is a follow-on to book one with the page numbers in sequence with Vol. 1. The two volumes, I bought the other seperately, will remain on my work area indefinately.

  • Great informative

    Awesome book...
