Received the vintage book in good shape. Was well wrapped and exactly as advertised. It is an old book but worth every penny. It is very valuable very well organized and well laid out. Christian and Theology books many times the older the better !! It is from the Reformation period in England.. I love the beautiful Doctrinal Biblical content of all our Protestant Biblical beliefs.. I am too happy with this order!! God bless the seller - many thanks !!!!

The item arrived in very good condition - better than expected from the description. The delivery of the item was horrendous, but no fault of the seller. USPS just seemed to lose track of the item for over a week. Communication with the seller was fine - very nice gentleman.
