Fantastic seller. I made a mistake over the festive period and thought book hadn’t arrived. I contacted seller and requested a new book however it was last copy and he issues a refund even though Royal Mail had given proof of delivery. I found the book stored away a couple of days later and wanted to cancel refund and apologise. Seller was grateful for honesty and told me to keep book free of charge. Would definitely recommend based on great customer service and will be buying from them again

This is a beautiful book of Burder's sermons from the1800s, which I am thrilled with. A neatly boxed parcel with padding for protection of the book, which was wrapped in bubble wrap and waterproofed seal, made sure it arrived as described, in fine condition. Communication for a reduction in price is very much appreciated, and the correspondence always pleasant. I love how the preachers of old spoke and wrote, with such sincerity and reverence. Thank you so much, Peter. Julia

Packaging was excellent and the book was as described. The shipping was prompt. The one issue I have learned since that could have arisen is that for a book of this value it would have been better to have sent it registered post so that the recipient had to sign for it. The postman left the package on the porch, as they have taken to doing, even though there was someone in the house at the time. Under other circumstances this could have caused problems.
