    jayfr1 is a excellent seller with professional book selling. Hilleman's a Thief of Time arrived beautiful wrapped and protected. Glad it was well protected as the shipment got slowed by Colorado's extremely bad snow and shut down roads. The book in excellent condition. I work as a archaeologist and this was the first of Hilleman's books I read back in 1990. I treasure this book. Thank you very much. I repeated it was a positive, professional experience.

    The packaging of the book was the best I have ever received! Thank you for taking such care to ensure the book would arrive safely & in the condition as described. It was actually better than described! It was a pleasure to receive a vintage hardcover from 1942 that many readers likely handled, read & enjoyed at a fair price rather than some cheesy modern sloppily printed paperback. Recommended Seller.

    Super fast shipping, item as described and the best surprise gift for my wife ahead of Mother's day! Very happy with this transaction and the packaging was beyond expectation. There were at least 3 waterproof layers around the book that would have kept it dry and undamaged and I can't thank you enough for that!
