What a delight! I ordered this book (a rare volume here in the U.K.) to be delivered from The U.S.A to my home in Wales in the U.K and it arrived in eleven days, a full two weeks ahead of schedule. The book itself is in immaculate condition, just as the seller described. Also, the seller took great care in packing the book to ensure safe transit. They clearly care for their customers satisfaction. I heartily recommend this seller. Thank you very much.

Item received in 2 days (was only 12 miles away) and packaged securely in bubble wrap and a box. Items are in very good condition for being 60 years old. They are as they appeared in the description. I am very pleased to get these to give as a gift to my brother who lived in Clinton during this time and experienced the flood first hand. Great duo of pictures.
