Book was exactly as described and in very good condition. It was carefully packaged, wrapped in layers of paper, corrugated cardboard and bubble wrap in a cardboard box and arrived without any damage. Speedy delivery, especially considering this was around the Christmas holidays Very satisfied and would recommend the seller based on my experience.

Lightning fast postage, packaging superb with many layers of protection. The item was described fully and the description was excellent. I believe the item was well priced, but as there are so few of these there is nothing with which one can compare, but I am very pleased with the value. A most highly recommended seller.

I’ve purchased several other rare books from this seller in the past as well, and the quality has always been top notch. The prices have been nice as well. Great eBay seller! Thanks!
