My order arrived quickly and it was packaged very well. The item I ordered was described perfectly and it even exceeded my expectations. The retail and shipping costs were both a great value. The Seller communicated with me throughout the entire sales process. I will order from this Seller again and I highly encourage others to do the same. This was a great retail experience!!!

Very rare item published in my home city in 1874. So pleased that this was offered for auction. The book is in better condition that would be expected for something 151 years of age. Well packaged for shipping which arrived seamlessly. Better than described. Value is priceless. Transaction was flawless. Recommended A+++

Split hinges unmentioned (reparable with skill and some rice paper), but still a handsome and serviceable copy, largely as described. Arrived well-packed in a heavy box and a waterproof plastic sleeve! Promptly shipped, a good value for money spent! Thanks!
