Schilb packaged the two-volume Bible carefully in bubble wrap and secured the texts in the shipping container with paper to prevent movement. Thoroughly pleased with the item’s condition and the store’s quick delivery — it arrived only a few days after ordering! I plan to recommend this seller to all of my friends who share a love for rare books. A gem of a store!

Neben der ausführlichen Artikelbeschreibung mit vielen Bildern (welche dem realen Zustand des Buches entsprachen) verlief die Kommunikation sehr informativ mit kurzen Reaktionszeiten. Der Versand aus den USA nach Deutschland dauerte nur 1 Woche. Das Buch war sehr gut und sicher verpackt. Alles bestens, vielen Dank, jederzeit wieder!

Amazing, quick postage, great value, well packaged. Great condition, as described in listing. Wife who is learning Latin is extremely happy. Never thought we would have something so old, a full hundred years older than my next oldest book. 5 star great seller
