    Perfect! Very fair pricing and well-ordered packaging, and well-kept product. It was very clean and in good condition as described. The shipping arrived 1 month ahead of time. I would absolutely love to buy again from them in the future, as a fellow lover of literature. Highly recommend and commend them for their great work!

    Arrived extremely well packaged, with multiple layers of various protections around the book itself. No free space in box to bump about in transit. Book is in “New” condition, as described; as if it came out of shrink wrap yesterday. It was prepared for shipping in the manner that an expensive, hardbound edition deserves, by people who respect books, and the customer. Price point was very fair. Absolute professionals. I would buy from this seller again, with complete confidence.

    Excellent experience! Item is perfect! Seller price was very reasonable. Item was packed better than I've ever seen an item packed - seller even used special tape on glass to protect it during shipping, but not leave sticky residue when taking it off. Shipped securely and quickly using UPS instead of untrustworthy U. S. Postal Service (thank you so much). Very happy with whole experience!
