Excellent experience from start to finish! Noah Webster's Collected Essays on Politics, Literature, and Morals (1843) arrived very quickly—much faster than anticipated. The packaging was thorough and secure, ensuring this rare and fragile item was well-protected during transit. The book was exactly as described, with all expected age-related wear clearly noted in the listing. A true gem for any collector. Highly trustworthy seller—thank you for preserving history so well!

A beautiful map, exactly as described and it was very well-packaged. This was in no way the fault of the seller, but once the item departed, it languished in the USPS system for several days without any updated or useful tracking information being provided by USPS. In the end, it arrived four days late. Hardly a deal breaker, but I did pay $8.95 for USPS to scan the item along the way.

A++++, thank you! Map arrived exactly as described. Shipping and packaging were quick and secure, with a nice solid shipping tube provided for the rolled up map. Item itself was perfect; great detail, feel, and quality. Not sure about the value but I feel happy with my map so I'm saying it's a good value! Top notch seller
