Libra Classica’s customer service is outstanding from start to finish! Simon responded immediately, took ownership of the missing shipment, and kept me fully informed every step of the way. When the first parcel appeared lost, they didn’t hesitate to dispatch a replacement via tracked Royal Mail. Their clear, friendly communication and swift action turned what could have been a frustrating experience into a completely worry-free one. The book itself is stunning—really high quality and everything

Amazing seller! I ordered this book for my wife for our anniversary. It was clearly constructed, packaged and shipped with love/care. Item arrived as quickly as I believe it could have (it had a long journey to get to my door) all in all three weeks total. Now that the book is in my hands, all I can say is if you’re on the fence about purchasing an edition, don’t be. An absolute stunner in person. Quick, easy and painless. 10/10 across the board. Thank you Libra Classics.
