This is the best purchase I have EVER made off of Ebay! This Antique Bible is in perfect condition, is enormous, and was wrapped impeccably! What a great seller and fast shipping for such a large and heavy item! Also, it was wrapped many times and in 2 boxes, thank goodness because the delivery man left it outside on my driveway and it poured rain on it, but it was in perfect condition because of the excellent packaging! I have this seller saved in my ebay for future purchases!

Communication was excellent. Seller's accommodation to my particular circumstances. Seller is competent, efficient, very quick to respond to purchase and mail items. Then items were received in the condition exactly as they were described and were exceptionally well packaged,. Items received much more quickly than I thought would be a reasonable amount of time between purchase and receipt. Once again, I highly recommend this Seller.

I’m incredibly happy with this transaction! I’m not great about leaving feedback but this book set exceeded my expectations. The seller gave a great price, packed them well, and shipped them quickly. The volumes themselves are in wonderful condition for their age and exactly as described. I bought this set as a “birthday present to me” for my 40th birthday and it did not disappoint in the least. Thanks 🙏!
