- s***j (125)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe items were received as described and was very impressed with the packaging that basically saved these beautiful bookends from damage. Even though the packaging was clearly marked as fragile, that did not stop the USPS from man handling the package. Thank you, Whistle Stop Bookshop for an excellent job, in shipping this item to me and at a great price.Jade Carved Dragon Bookends Vintage (#365645593452)
- i***i (64)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller was easy to deal with. Fast shipping. Packaged well, all hardback received. Books were not quite what I would consider collectible or rare (print from 1970s.) I guess that's vintage now since it's 2025. None of the books received were in the photo in the posting of what I thought I'd receive. Disappointed that I didn't receive at least one from the photo. Overall, decent value for old books. Photo for reference. All books were in ok shape for age.Reply from: thewhistlestopbookshop- Feedback replied by seller thewhistlestopbookshop.- Feedback replied by seller thewhistlestopbookshop.Thank you!
