    Signed 1st edition hardcover of "Menagerie Manor," by Gerald Durrell is as pictured & described. Arrived fast & early! Got a great deal on this treasure! The book was put inside a tough plastic bag, then inside a sturdy manilla envelope, then nestled in crumpled newspaper inside a sturdy box. Tasty layers of goodness! Fort Knox in a Box! Great communication! Excited to add this to my growing Gerald Durrell book collection! Thank you for your care and attention! !!!!Seller Highly Recommended!!!!

    Book is in excellent condition as described, and was packaged very well for mailing. The only thing that would've made the sale a bit better would have been if I could have gotten it sooner. I purchased the item on March 3, shipping info was generated on March 5, actually wasn't received at the post office until March 6. They say patience is a virtue, but it is not one I have been blessed with. I appreciate that the seller accepted my bid instead of their asking price. Would recommend seller!

    Excellent Seller!! Arrived in perfect condition for a first edition of a book. The book was packed with care. Shipping was expedited and it arrived exactly as described. The value is perfect. Thank you so very much! About 30 years ago my family rented a cabin on Loon Lake and when it appeared as a bc novel- I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to give my younger brother a story although set before our time - it will hold a lot of meanings (& memories). I can still that summer vacation! 💙
