Absolutely amazing seller!! I don't know where to start here because everything is going to be an understatement. Communication A+, description A+, delivery A+ but the packaging was incredible- it was bombproof while being a work of art at the same time. InkQ Rare Books needs to write the book, Ebay Book Sellers Guide to Blowing Your Customers Away. Once again, an absolutely amazing seller. Just wow!! Thank you so much!
