    Awesome Seller! As in my other feedback left I must say again that this Seller was very courteous and provided very professional customer service. Helpful and very responsive to questions. The books were very well-packed for shipping and arrived in a timely manner. The books were as described and shown the photos. I have already purchased more books from this Seller and would certainly like to purchase more in the future. Highly recommend!

The packaging is also quite good, showing the seller's best efforts. Communication is smooth and timely, and the seller patiently answers questions. I'm also satisfied with the item I received. All in all, it's a great experience. Thank you

    Excellent experience. The package was delivered during a torrential rain, and I worried the books would have gotten wet by the time I got home. However, when I opened the soaked box, I discovered that the sellers had wrapped the books in plastic and secured them well within the box— they were completely dry! The condition was exactly as described, if not better. Overall, very satisfied with the sellers and their attention to packaging and prompt shipping.
