Barron Rare Books did an outstanding job of sending the book I bought with expedited shipping but I was most impressed with the quality of care they took care of packaging the book. You can tell they really care about service and taking care of their customers and they are passionate about the books they sell. They went above and beyond and I would definitely buy from them again
