The Colton map arrived today (5/11) and looks GREAT! It is a beautiful piece of work, and was securely packaged and protected. I really am pleased with your quick and friendly service -- and I am glad to make a purchase from a family run business!
My book arrived in record time (it shocked me when it arrived so soon after ordering) and was beautifully packaged. If it didn't go via DHL it would never have made it through the Australia Post system unscathed!!! Thank you!
