What an great seller! Due to the size of my order, they broke it up into three packages, taking the time to wrap and protect each set of books in multiple ways. They arrived in pristine condition, exactly as pictured and described. Excellent value and quick shipping as well. Will definitely buy from them again. Fantastic experience!
