    Very responsive and honest. Accurate description, disclosed and posted flaws of flaws in the slipcase, unlike some sellers who post false and misleading descriptions. Responded to my offer within an hour, even though I sent it at 9 pm. The books were packed carefully in bubble wrap, packing material and a sturdy box, and arrived in two days. Based on this experience, I would highly recommend this seller when purchasing collectible books.
