This is a beautiful set that's 250 y/o & is in great condition; it surpassed expectations. The shipping was surprisingly quick. However, probably the most amazing thing was that these 8 books were so well packed, in such reinforced cardboard, individually bubble wrapped, that I swear, if you dropped that box off a 3 story building, I doubt a single corner would even get dinged. This went from the UK to the US, mind you. This dealer's a pro and you can feel safe when you buy from Farang Shop UK!
