    Book was as described and in great condition for a 50 year old book. Never have I seen a book packed for shipping so well -- amazing effort, arrived perfectly and earlier than estimated. Great vendor.

    Arrived exactly as described and then some. The seller was more than gracious to ship two items together and sell both at a reasonable price. It is clear this seller provides care in the their items as each came individually wrapped twice. Each item feels beyond their description of ‘like new’— they look and feel brand new. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

    Wonderful Book

    Wonderful stories, easy for little ones to follow and keep them interested. Very nice illustrations also. My 5 year old dove right in to this book as soon as I took it out of its packaging.

    The books were damaged

    Both my books were damaged one has a big gash in it you packed them in a thin piece of plastic envelope that did not hold up to the mail company a padded envelope probably would’ve been better or a box my other book that came from another company absolutely the packing was beautifully done. The books were a gift that can’t be given now.

  • Works of Art

    The Children's Book of Virtues is classic in all. A teaching tool with beautiful, grand art -- not just illustrations - grand art. This book is a keepsake. I gave a copy to my daughter who teaches 5th graders at her local church.

  • title lead to a good discussion of positive virtues

    Granddaughter would have liked to have had some explanations to some of the stories (for when reading alone) but overall, the Grandchildren have enjoyed it very much. It is good to have reading with positive morals that they can read with adults or alone.
