  1. This book arrived today, exactly when the seller said it would, and was very well packaged for its journey. It is in absolutely perfect condition and it exactly as it is described on Ebay. For a book that is something of a rarity in Britain, the price was very low and having free postage made the value even greater. It is a small Christmas present for someone with the family name of 'Lucero', so this makes the exceptional way in which this seller works all the more special. Thank you greatly

  3. Excellent customer service. A book was missing from my original order but as soon as I flagged it they sent out the book. When the courier said the book was undeliverable (!) the seller refunded before I was even aware of this, then when the book arrived a few days later and I contacted the seller they said to keep it with their compliments. They responded super fast to messages also. Highly recommend!
