WONDERFUL SELLER! This is a hard to find book and it is in such excellent condition, it exceeded my highest expectations. Seller communication was very good, she understood my concerns about shipping with USPS...book came well wrapped, padded and sealed, in a box, with insurance and tracking. It also came quickly, shipped next day. The book is part of a sentimental collection for me and I am thrilled to find it, and even more thrilled with how the transaction transpired. New favorite selle4!!!

The seller was amazingly helpful, courteous, and responsive during the sale. She did extra research on her end to tell me about the boots and took the time to field my questions. She's a great person and runs a top eBay store! The boots didn't fit well, and again to show how amazing the seller is, she was totally cool with it and accepted the return. I might also add that the boots are as described, like new and great for the right person. Shipping was great, packaging perfect, and fair value!

Excellent seller! Went above and beyond to answer a question and send more information. The best part was the personal touch of wrapping the book like a present after I mentioned it being an early birthday present to myself! The packaging was the best I've seen for a book and the book was as described. Shipping was quick. The signed book was a great purchase!
