  1. Forgotten Books is an excellent service - Books are printed to order. The book I ordered is a reprint of a Journal from 1907 - of excellent print quality and I highly recommend the company. The book arrived ahead of schedule. I had a query during the order process and it was answered quickly with helpful feedback. Their websites says over 1 million titles online! I would certainly use this company again! Thanks!

  2. Suitable and adequate, sufficiently protecting packaging; delivery duration was eventually shorter than announced (two weeks instead of four weeks from UK to Germany); reasonable and very good price; thank you very much - hope to find another likewise pleasing offer and transaction from the seller. :-)
