I had questions before I purchased the item and the seller was friendly and quite responsive. I noticed that after I communicated with him, he lowered the price on the listing, which I appreciated. Shipping was quick, the item was packaged thoughtfully. There was damage that was explained prior to the sale, so it was exactly as he described it.

The book was packaged very well to avoid shipping damage, and its was shipped the first business day after I placed the order. It is in beautiful condition and the photos in the description are true to its state. I’m very happy with this purchase price and I wish the seller had more Norwegian books in stock.
