Please review photos for more detailed attempt to present this book as it survives. We often over-describe any flaws that many sellers would not even bother to mention since most people would overlook them as minor and unworthy of comment. Many people tell us the books they receive from us are nicer in person than they appears on the screen. We want you to be clear about what you are buying, so we take numerous photos and try to describe it openly and honestly. Book Measures c. 8 1/2" H x 5 1/4" W. [B9991].

A++++, thank you! Map arrived exactly as described. Shipping and packaging were quick and secure, with a nice solid shipping tube provided for the rolled up map. Item itself was perfect; great detail, feel, and quality. Not sure about the value but I feel happy with my map so I'm saying it's a good value! Top notch seller

I ordered to prints from the seller-- both are absolutely lovely, and as described. Seller was responsive; when I asked if he could ship both prints together, he was happy to do so and refunded the price of shipping for one of the purchases. Prints were packaged well-- would buy from this seller again.
