    I cannot say enough positive things about this transaction and this seller. These books were reasonably priced; packaged exquisitely to protect them from damage in transit; shipped extremely quickly; and their condition is precisely as described in the listing. At all steps of the transaction, the seller was keen to communicate with me to ensure a smooth, pleasant, delightful experience. An OUTSTANDING seller who I cannot recommend enough.

    The book was as described. It arrived in great condition due to the packaging. The seller let me know within minutes when the book would ship and provided a tracking number. Great price for a collectors edition! Would buy from again.

    Have never traded with PGS before - would not hesitate to do so again. We were a whole continent apart and email communications and updates of parcel progress were almost daily. That PGS loves books shines through in the way the book was packaged - rigid boards to ensure integrity, plastic to ensure water tightness - tightly sealed parcel to ensure security. It arrived in the same pristine condition it left him. Just a superb vendor - everything anyone could want from a bookseller. A++++

    Thank you!!! Took me a moment figure out who PGS was, but my coffee kicked in and I get it now. It was a pleasure, and I'm beyond pleased it made it all the way to you safely. I pack for the apocalypse, which is def good enough for int'l travel.
