I just want to congratulate you on getting my book to me two months ahead of the ABE projected date of delivery - thank you very much! It arrived on Monday 25th February instead of the 26th April - amazing! The book was carefully packaged and it reached me in excellent condition. Thanks again.
Hello from England. I received the book today, and just wanted you to know that I'm really happy with it -- its condition is really amazing, and a lot better than I had hoped. It also happens to be a really excellent book, which helps. I also wanted to say thanks for the great packaging: it's surprisingly often that companies don't pack their books properly and they end up getting damaged during the shipping process! Kind regards,
