    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!

    Seller was so involved in communication during this transaction. Appreciated that so very much. Item was as described and we are thrilled. Item is a great value and we do not take that for granted. Packaging had 4 layers of protection which was amazing. So happy to have this added to our collection.
