    Seller responded quickly to my question confirming that my relative was in the yearbook I was interested in purchasing. Shipping was fast and the packaging was secure. The book is in great condition - as described, and was cheaper than a digital reprint available on Amazon. Highly recommend purchasing from this seller!

    I purchased a fairly rare book, pictured and described well. It was a signed book, a good value. The book arrived earlier than originally posted, and it was nicely protected in its packaging. I’d recommend this seller.
