I'm thoroughly satisfied with my purchase! The book I bought arrived just as expected and in impeccable condition thanks to how well the package was secured for transit. Not only that, but it was precisely as advertised by the listing description and the many photos provided. For what I received, it came at a great value, and I have only praise for this vendor and their exemplary customer service!

Shipping was quick, along with amazing packaging, it's much more than described with newspaper articles from the NY Times about Dali and Morse who founded the US Dali Museum. A great find and value for sure. I'll have to look more at what you have! A real treasure trove.
