    Fantastic experience all around! The transaction was fast and easy, with smooth communication every step of the way. The item arrived quickly, was securely packaged, and matched the description perfectly. Seller was responsive, helpful, and clearly cares about providing great service. One of the best eBay sellers I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with. 10 out of 10—highly recommended! Would absolutely buy from again without hesitation. Thanks so much!

    Book arrived well-packaged and in fine condition. But a comment is in order about the tracking. Piss-poor! Labeled 'UPS', but delivered by USPS. The tracking says it's still on the way despite being delivered yesterday. Several "Delivery dates" were posted on their site, which came and went. The 'Contact information' said that calling them would yield nothing more than their site offered, which was nothing. So, pleased by the product and packaging, my only complaint being of the tracking.
