Items purchased were vintage & in excellent condition. I have never seen delicate items such as these packed more carefully. The seller went to great lengths to ensure they arrived unbroken. The seller was very easy to work with and was a great communicator. I would buy from Scott again, without any hesitation. I wish all eBay transactions went this smoothly.

No problems. The three books arrived well-packaged and in the condition described. One book's page had become detached but the listing had already mentioned this as a detached "frontispiece." Very nice, vintage, foreign books, probably hard to find by now. Thanks for making them available in the USA.
