I had a fantastic experience with this seller! I purchased a lot of vintage books and was very impressed from start to finish. The books arrived quickly, carefully packaged, and in great condition. The seller offered excellent communication throughout the whole process—easy to reach, very responsive, and flexible in working with me to make the purchase smooth. I really appreciated the attention to detail and the willingness to accommodate the customer’s needs. Highly recommend this seller!
Book exactly as described 1st/1st in 'Fine' condition as is the dj. Priced well below market but seller was willing to stand by original offer. Excellent seller communication. Reasonable shipping cost. Adequate packaging but could have used protective cardboard wrap to ensure the dj integrity. Fast despatch and timely delivery. An easy, serendipitous and pleasant transaction. 5 Stars 🌟 Plus.
The seller shipped the book quickly and it was delivered on time. Book was in excellent condition just as advertised. Packaging was good. Shipping wasn't outrageous. All things considered I'm very satisfied hence the 5 star positive feedback to the seller.
