    Great seller, nothing but praise for the whole transaction! All items arrived on time and came neatly wrapped in protective materials. The books match the condition described on offer and had a fair price. Shipping costs were acceptable. I also found communication with the seller smooth and helpful. All good!

    Condition is exactly as advertised and the book was packed well to avoid damage during shipping. Seller also responded to my somewhat strange question quickly and kindly. I'll absolutely remember them for the future.

    I mainly chose this seller because they had a high feedback rating. And man is it true. The book was packaged very lovingly, protected all the way through any shipping possible. The item matched the photos, I got exactly what was pictured. The shipping was amazing. And since this is an out of print book, it wasn’t grossly overpriced like I’ve seen on some others. If I’m looking for anything else out of print, I’ll be looking at this store first.
