    The item was well packaged and sent and delivered on time using international delivery. The item was as described with very little sign of use. The cover and spine looked good. Excellent seller. Recommended.

    This Bible came very very fast. I’m glad the seller wrapped it in bubble wrap. The post office is so careless with their handling of packages. This sell wrapped this very well. A knew the Bible was used, but it was in very nice condition for a used book. I think it was even better than the seller described. This is a very expensive Bible and I feel I received great deal on this one.
