I am normally not compelled to leave reviews, but felt that this seller went above and beyond what is expected. The books i purchased were well priced, shipping was quick, the box was well packaged, and they even included a bonus book and handmade watercolor bookmark. I am genuinely impressed and will purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
