Would reccomend this seller 110%! messaged me to verify I was certain and happy with what I was buying and checked in regularly to ensure I was never confused on when the package was due or shipped! When I was out during the delivery, the seller went out of their way to ensure I was kept up to date on the redelivery and tracking info! Recieved safely and all products were pristine condition! Securely packed and good value for money - even came with freebies :) very high quality would buy again!
I had a ‘90s copy. I was excited about the new edition. With a new forward by J Wasserman and intro by LM DuQuette. The book was excellent value and it arrived in perfect condition as it was sold new. A gorgeous looking tome.I gave 5 stars for the description, I had no communication with the seller and only gave 4 stars for Dispatch Time. Dispatched on Nov 4th with the last day being tomorrow. The process was great. Highly recommended. I’ve done business with these guys and will continue to.
Good seller despite the negative feedback that I read. Communication has been excellent, seller has been responding professionally. The seller gave me a delivery date and the book arrived on time as promised. Book came in excellent mint condition. My only criticism would be that the seller should mention in the description that they do not keep the books in stock and have to order them in. This gives the buyer expectations that they have to wait a little longer to receive their book.
