    I'm a big fan of how nicely and securely the items were packaged. All 3 books came exactly as shown in the listing photos, right up to the small dings on the spine. So you can have piece of mind knowing that what you see is what you get. The seller also offered a nice discount so I do feel I got the best value out of my money. 10/10 would recommend!

    Received a different item I selected as seller informed me that the original one I attempted was damaged. I appreciate the fact when anyone is honest and transparent. It goes a long way and means a great deal to me. I would buy from the seller again because item was packaged securely, shipping was pretty quick and due to seller being honest about the item. Thank you so much ☺️
