This has exceeded my expectations—it’s beautifully preserved and carries a remarkable sense of history. The craftsmanship of the cover and the clarity of the old print make it a true collector’s piece. Shipping was fast, packaging was careful, and it arrived in even better condition than described. Thank you for the excellent deal!

Book was delivered and was wrapped very well to prevent any damage during transport. Book was as described. Would definitely order again from this seller !! I thought shipping was expensive , the book is big and heavy so maybe that is what it costs to ship. Overall very happy with my purchase. Thank you
