    The item that I ordered was shipped promptly and what I received was exactly as described and detailed by the seller. The packaging used for shipping the item purchased was robust and more than adequately protected the item shipped. Overall the experience with this seller was excellent.

    This book was packaged very well! Definitely arrived with no damage from shipping and in the same shape as described in the listing. There was a leftover portion of a sticker on the back, but for an anthology book, I'm not bothered by this. The book is in really great condition. Shipping was fast, and the price was good for such a book! Thank you so much!

    Book in almost perfect condition, better than described. Delivered swiftly, at reasonable cost, and very well packaged. It's a magazine that I omitted to buy 46 years ago, because at the time I was 8 years old and the book wasn't available in Britain. What an amazing service we can get these days. Thanks Ronaida's Books
