I just received my Harvard Classics 51 vols. Many thanks for a perfect deal !! Good and to the point presale info, a good price, super fast shipping (in 10 working days to Continental Europe, wow must have been Concord). The books were wrapped with loving care and arrived in perfect shape to be the crown in my library. If this is your standard customer care, you set a standard that will go unchallenged for a long time !! I will recommend you to all my book loving friends !! Many thanks again.
You guys don’t waste time! Thank you so much for Leoncavallo! He is now in my study, on the wall of honour. You may have read that things are grim here in Melbourne, with everything in hard lockdown and everyone confined to their homes for at least six weeks. This has brought me real joy and I cannot thank you all enough. Best wishes
