    In my 15+ years of book collecting, the vintage set I purchased from the seller may be one of my greatest exchanges yet. The books were unbelievably affordable despite being a once-in-a-lifetime find. They arrived in great condition as described in the listing. The shipping and packaging process was handled with evident love and care which I particularly appreciated since reckless transportation could have easily destroyed the books in transit. These works will be very well loved. Thank you!
