- u***t (365)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI had the pleasure of having the owner offer me a 'sweeter' low priced deal just minutes after reviewing his book offer. I immediately took it, and before I knew it, it was shipped {what seemed} within minutes. I thanked him for the offer through a message and his response was very kind. After I received the book {the shortest I've experienced}, it was wrapped in an adorable Flamingo light blue shipping bag. It was delightful! He attached a personal note to the book. It was in impeccable shape!
