    The fastest shipment I've ever gotten from Japan. :) Yoshihiro-San packaged the book expertly in a layer of padding and weather-proof packaging. Expectations are silly, this makes living a delightful surprise. It was exactly as pictured in the listing. Was it worth it? Invaluable to me. Thank you very much! Yoshihiro-San!

    This was a terrific transaction. The packaging was just what was needed for safe shipping for a book. It only took 5 days to get to America from Japan. I’ve waited longer for a package to come across the country from CA to PA! Really nice book & I am very happy with this purchase. A++

    For a 50 year old book the condition was very good. It was well packaged and delivered to my address in the UK from Japan in 5 days and i was able to track it in transit. Very good trader who ive used in the past. Highly recommended
