    I received an out of print book at a very nice price. Very carefully packaged and the book arrived earlier than estimated and in exactly the condition described in the initial listing. Highly recommend this seller for antique books. The seller really carefully handles the books and as someone also selling collectibles on eBay, it is nice to see other sellers carefully package items.

    Very detailed and accurate description. I selected the purchase based on the specificity of the description, which addressed the appearance and (lack of) smell of the item—normally sellers don’t mention smell, but it is very important for purchasing very old books, so I appreciated that the seller specifically stated the book had a clean smell (and that the description was accurate). The item was carefully packaged and shipping was fast. Thank you!
