    I've bought from this seller a few times already and each time the experience is great. The books are always as shown in the pictures posted. Seller takes the time to wrap the books to ensure books aren't damaged during shipping. Seller is good to communicate with if you have any questions. I'm happy with my order when I place them and will continue to support the store.

    Very quick shipping! Packaging was securely sealed, and the book was not bent, dented, or otherwise harmed from the shipping process. The book condition is as described, very honest listing. For the price and condition, this purchase was worth it. I would feel confident buying from this seller again, knowing that the listings show and tell me exactly what to expect. I also like that this book does not have that old mildew smell. It is evident that this seller preserves item quality.
