I received my book order today, sooner than I expected and packaged with the care I have come to know from ABAA book sellers. When you described this book’s condition as Fine, you meant it! I couldn’t find one fault. Thank you.

I'm writing to let you know that the book arrived safely yesterday. I also wanted to thank you for your very professional and awesome packaging job. It's so nice to know that some people do care when packaging vintage and antique books for their customers (I say this because I've had some bad experiences recently with some other book dealers who did a miserable job of packaging a book from 1824). Best,
