The seller was a very good communicator. After my offer was accepted, I received a notice that the Bible would be shipped the next day. The Bible was almost brand new and was as the described. It was nicely wrapped so that It would arrive undamaged. I was very happy with my purchase and will be a return customer

Seller was excellent. Same can’t be said for us post office. They left it on my steps vs the porch 3’ away which was covered. The box was soaked by rain. Thankfully the seller placed the book in a plastic bag that saved it. Without this it would have been ruined.

The books were just as described, they’re lovely books. The shipping was fairly priced and the books arrived quickly. They were also packaged very well. I think the price was more than fair. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.
