Lightning fast shipping, carefully packaged with love, and the books were as described. As a big fan of Richard Lee Byers, I felt like this was great value for the money. Most importantly, the seller was very flexible on price, & it’s for all these reasons I’d recommend this seller, & would do definitely shop again.

Great packaging! Wrapped in plastic first. Which I appreciate because sometimes it rains and the Mail gets wet. Then double wrapped in corrugated paper and finally wrapped overall in paper. 20 year old book is in great shape as described. Looks new. Thanks!
