- f***7 (3)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI was so happy to receive this book to add to my collection! But I am even more impressed with the seller! This is my second purchase through this seller. The packages arrive when promised and easy to track. The items are packaged with care and security. But even more impressive is the seller’s complete willingness to answer questions, and answers them within a few hours. I had questions on both purchases and the answer were thorough and honest. Great experiences!!
