I am very pleased with my purchase of a Classical History book from this bookseller. The conditions of the book and its dust jacket are exactly as described in the seller's listing. I consider the price, which I paid for the book, to be commensurate with the book's value. The seller shipped the book promptly and professionally, in a mailer which protected it well during the shipping process. I received the book sooner than I had anticipated. I would purchase from this seller again.

This is my second attempt. The book was on time, defensively and successfully wrapped, in better condition than described! Marvelous. I left it open, turned the pages every few days ( near an open window). The described mustiness is gone. Wonderful seller! Appreciated purchase!
